๐บ๐ฆโก๏ธ JUST IN: Ukraine's parliament has approved former Naftogaz chief Sergey Koretsky as the country's new Prime Minister amid a major wartime government reshuffle.
But his appointment is already generating controversy.
Ukrainian opposition figures and local media have alleged links between Koretsky and businessman Timur Mindich a longtime associate of President Zelensky often referred to in Ukrainian media as "Zelensky's wallet."
The allegations are connected to broader corruption investigations surrounding Ukraine's energy sector.
Koretsky has not been charged with wrongdoing, and the claims remain politically contested.
His appointment comes as Kyiv faces mounting battlefield pressure, economic strain and growing scrutiny over governance and corruption reforms.
At a time of war, Ukraine is reshaping not only its military leadership
but also the political architecture behind it.

๐จ๐ณ China Calls for Global Cooperation on AI Development
Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the world to avoid allowing artificial intelligence to become dominated by a single nation, calling instead for greater international cooperation in developing and governing the technology. Speaking at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Xi said AI should be a "symphony of international cooperation" rather than a solo performance by one country.
Xi also emphasized a people-centered approach to AI, stressing that humans must remain in control through laws, regulations, monitoring systems, and emergency safeguards. China pledged to expand AI cooperation with developing nations across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and BRICS countries while opposing the misuse of national security concerns to restrict technological access and innovation.

๐ง๐ท๐บ๐ธ BREAKING: The pressure campaign expands.
Washington will impose 25% tariffs on thousands of Brazilian imports beginning July 22, targeting sectors ranging from steel and sugar to paper and apparel.
But the exemptions reveal the bigger story.
Brazilian beef, coffee and critical rare-earth materials remain untouched.
Why?
Because even amid confrontation, the world's largest economy still depends on strategic resources from one of the BRICS bloc's leading powers.
The US claims the tariffs are a response to "unfair trade practices."
Brazil sees something else:
A political dispute wrapped in economic policy.
President Lula's government argues the measures are tied to Brasรญlia's prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally of Donald Trump.
For years, Washington promoted free trade.
Now tariffs have become a tool of geopolitical leverage.
The message reaching the Global South is clear:
Economic independence increasingly comes with political costs.
