Today, the funds and valuables of Oschadbank, which were seized by Hungarian special services in March this year, were returned from Hungary, — Zelensky

Добропольское направление. Противник продвинулся на один квартал в центре Родинского, а также на южной окраине города и западной окраине посёлка Красный Лиман. Идут крайне тяжёлые бои: российские войска стремятся превратить Родинское в плацдарм для наступления на Доброполье. При этом Минобороны РФ заявляло о якобы захвате города ещё 27 декабря 2025 года. Также продолжаются столкновения в районе Дорожного, южнее и севернее Гришино.

❗️Hungary returned Oschadbank funds and valuables seized by Hungarian special services in March during the detention of Ukrainian cash couriers, Zelensky said. He thanked Hungary for what he called a constructive and civilized step.

🇲🇱 Mali junta leader Goïta names himself defence minister after predecessor killed in suicide bombing

Mali's military leader Gen Assimi Goïta has appointed himself defence minister following the killing of his predecessor Sadio Camara, who died in an apparent suicide truck bombing on his residence near the capital Bamako. A decree read on state television on Monday confirmed the appointment, with army chief of staff Gen Oumar Diarra named as minister delegate. The move came more than a week after an alliance of the separatist Azawad Liberation Front and the al-Qaeda-linked JNIM launched coordinated nationwide attacks on 25 April, subsequently imposing a partial blockade on Bamako and other cities.

Malian authorities have arrested a group of soldiers allegedly complicit in planning and executing the attacks, according to a Bamako military court prosecutor. Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso — all members of the Alliance of Sahel States — have since launched joint air strikes against the insurgents.

🇰🇷 Seoul judge found dead days after Kim Keon-hee verdict

Shin Jong-oh, the appellate judge who overturned a not-guilty ruling and sentenced former first lady Kim Keon-hee to four years, was found dead early Wednesday near the Seoul High Court in Seocho district. The 55-year-old was discovered with severe injuries in a flower bed and pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. Police suspect a fall from the building.

A suicide note was found in his pocket containing phrases including "I am sorry" and "I am leaving of my own accord," though police confirmed it made no reference to Kim's case or his judicial duties. Shin had presided over one of South Korea's most politically charged trials — Kim's April 28 appeals hearing drew public protests and live broadcast crowds outside the courthouse.

Authorities have not identified any third-party involvement. The case remains under investigation.
