Poland Announces Foreign Spy Plot Busted, Involved Photographing Secretive Facilities
"Poland's National Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday that five individuals have been
charged with working on behalf of a foreign intelligence service, following coordinated arrests which spanned November Tuesday through Wednesday of this week by the Internal Security Agency and police.
Those taken into custody include two Ukrainian nationals - identified only as Oleksandr S. and a minor, Sofia Ch. - and in addition three Belarusian citizens identified as Viktoryia M., Anton M., and Uladzimir U.
The group is accused of targeting the Polish state for espionage purposes, with prosecutors alleging that throughout much of 2024 the team collected information on sensitive locations.

"Amid persistent confrontationalist rhetoric and determination to prolong the West's proxy war

In a critical sweetener for would-be recruits who are wary of dying in Ukraine, those who enlist under the new program will only serve in the French mainland and French territories abroad. The scheme will go live next summer with an initial round of 3,000 young volunteers, ramping up to 10,000 by 2030 and 50,000 a year by 2035.

Severe hailstorm injures more than 150 people and damages hundreds of homes, prompting state of emergency in Erechim, Brazil
"A powerful convective storm developed over northern Rio Grande do Sul during the afternoon bringing heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts, and hail to Erechim and surrounding municipalities.
According to the Civil Defence of Rio Grande do Sul (Defesa Civil RS), the hail event was triggered by a low-pressure system interacting with hot and humid air, generating strong updrafts capable of sustaining large hail formation.
The storm produced hailstones reportedly up to 10 cm (3.9 inches) in diameter, causing severe damage to roofs, vehicles, and power infrastructure.
Local officials said the hail fell for roughly 20 minutes, damaging hundreds of residential buildings. At least 35 schools sustained structural damage, including broken windows and collapsed roofs.

Mystery Blasts Rock Russia-Linked Oil Tankers Off Turkey’s Coast
"Explosions rocked two tankers sanctioned for carrying Russian oil, the latest in a spate of blasts on such vessels, sparking a rescue operation off Turkey’s Black Sea coast.
The 900-foot Kairos was en route from Egypt to Russia when it suffered a blast and caught fire, according to Turkish authorities. Emergency response vessels managed to evacuate the 25 crew members. Meanwhile, the 820-foot Virat began spewing heavy smoke from its engine room after being hit at a point farther east along the coast. The 20 personnel on board were in good condition, authorities said.
The exact cause of each of the explosions was unclear but Turkey’s transport minister said he had been informed they were the result of “external impact.”
“It can be a mine or a drone or a sea drone. These are all possible,” Abdulkadir Uraloglu said in a television interview." WSJ

Zelensky Sacks Chief of Staff Hours After Anti-Corruption Police Raided Home
"Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was acting to get ahead of “rumours and speculation” as he dismissed his chief of staff and lead peace negotiator after his home was raided by counter-corruption police.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s long-time political ally and chief of staff Andriy Yermak left the Ukrainian government on Friday afternoon, the latest such departure over a months-long corruption scandal which has already seen two other government ministers resign and President Zelensky’s former business partner flee the country.
Officers from Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) raided Yermak’s Kyiv home on Friday morning. He said he was cooperating with authorities and no specific allegations were made, but just hours later tended his resignation to the President. This was made official on Friday night as Zelensky promulgated a Presidential Decree which read: “Decree of the President of Ukraine No. 868/2025… To dismiss YERMAK Andriy Borysovych from the position of Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.”
President Zelensky said he would now “reboot” the Office of the President of Ukraine, which until today Yermak had led as chief of staff."

Trump Snubs Zelensky's Urgent Meeting Request - Will Host Only When Final Deal Is Agreed To
"Trump's latest comments on Ukraine peace progress suggest a direct meeting with Zelensky may not happen after all. The Ukrainians are pushing a face-to-face by Thursday, or at least this week. But President Trump is not going to meet with Zelensky until a deal is agreed to..webp)
Thus it appears the US president is serious about seeing a real compromise reached. Zelensky is seeking to convince Washington to nix the territorial concessions part of the now 19-point peace plan. Below are the key lines of Trump's Tuesday Truth Social post:
"Over the past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the War between Russia and Ukraine.
I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians.
I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages."
