Spain is reopening its embassy in Tehran. Iran is not our enemy, and for that reason we must not abandon diplomatic relations with that country despite the threats from others who seek to destroy it out of sheer hatred. 🇪🇸 🫂 🇮🇷

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Rustem Umerov's report on the results of the first stage of work with our partners in the Middle East and the Gulf region.

At this stage, Ukraine is in communication on security with Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.

We have requests for interaction with Iraq. Today we discussed the potential for joint work with the states of the Caucasus, as well as East and Southeast Asia.

There are meaningful requests from African states. We are also preparing the basis for deeper security agreements in Europe - we expect to achieve results this week.

Zelensky said Ukraine expanded security cooperation with Middle East and Gulf partners, sharing battlefield expertise in drone and maritime defense. He added that new agreements were being prepared with partners across Europe, Asia and Africa.

😡 Russia has intensified its offensive in the Sumy region, - spokesman for the Joint Forces Group Viktor Tregubov

The enemy is trying to expand control zones in the border areas. At least in our zone, both in Hrabovske and to the north of it. There is another wedge zone there. This is a limited advance - 1-1.5 km from the state border.

❗️ Flash: Unfortunately, we have another hit by a guided "Shahed" in the crew of the mobile fire group. MFG worked on one "Shahed", the other at that moment was hunting for the crew.

We have MFG working in many structures and branches of the military. Please show and tell the crews about the new threat.

We need to be prepared for it morally and physically. Think in advance about camouflage and a plan of action. Machines are just iron, our value is people.

Ismail Omar Guelleh, 78, has secured a sixth presidential term in Djibouti after receiving 97.8% of the vote, extending his rule to over 27 years. The election was boycotted by the main opposition candidates, who questioned the credibility of the process.

Guelleh has governed Djibouti since 1999. Rwanda's President Paul Kagame was among the first regional leaders to congratulate him, speaking with Guelleh by phone on Sunday, April 12.

😎💥 They hit the Ural and prevented the occupiers from setting up a pontoon crossing!

The pilots of SIGNUM battalion worked very promptly and clearly in the Lyman direction. The Russians again tried to resume movement towards Yampil in order to begin active offensive actions.

🇩🇪🇮🇷🇺🇸 Merz: The war in Iran is the actual cause of the problems that we are also facing in our own country.

I was not surprised by the decision to break off the talks in Islamabad.

From the beginning, I did not have the impression that they were really well prepared.

We will continue to feel the consequences of the war in Iran for a long time, even after it is over.

We are preparing ourselves for a prolonged period of significant strain on the German economy, and therefore also on private households.

🇻🇳🇨🇳 Vietnam Adopts China Governance Model Under Lam

Vietnam's party chief To Lam, who formally consolidated two of the country's most powerful roles on April 7, is travelling to Beijing this week for talks with Xi Jinping. Internal documents and cooperation agreements reviewed by Reuters show Hanoi advancing Chinese-style regulation on data control, equity markets, and surveillance infrastructure.

Vietnam's public security ministry has drafted data rules limiting cross-border transfers, mirroring China's centralised data model. Plans include state-run data-trading exchanges overseen by the ministry, a nationwide AI camera identification network, and a government-backed stock market stabilisation fund modelled explicitly on a Chinese mechanism.

On technology, Vietnam has removed earlier objections to Chinese equipment in its 5G network, with a telecom unit under the public security ministry in active talks with Chinese firms for additional contracts. China's exports to Vietnam are at record highs, and Chinese investment in Vietnamese manufacturing continues to expand.
