Russia increased its use of Molniya and Lancet drones across southern Ukraine in recent weeks, Southern Defense Forces spokesman Vladyslav Voloshyn said. He said daily drone use in the south rose to 2,500, including 700-800 Molniyas and Lancets.

🇲🇾 Malaysia Eyes Legal Action Against Meta Over Royal Impersonation

Malaysia's Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the government is studying legal action against Meta after MCMC monitoring identified 15,296 fake accounts impersonating 26 royal family members across Facebook between January and April 2026. The matter has been raised with Meta multiple times, with responses deemed unsatisfactory. Potential action would proceed under Malaysia's Online Safety Act (ONSA).

The scale of the impersonation — targeting constitutionally protected royal institutions including the Selangor royal family — elevates this beyond a routine content moderation dispute. Malaysia has a pattern of asserting digital sovereignty through regulatory pressure, and ONSA provides a formal enforcement lever that previous frameworks lacked.

If pursued, legal proceedings would mark one of Southeast Asia's first direct state actions against Meta over royal or head-of-state impersonation at this volume.

🇲🇱 At least 50 killed in JNIM attacks on two villages in Mali's Mopti region

The al-Qaeda-linked group JNIM attacked the villages of Korikori and Gomossogou in central Mali's Mopti region on Wednesday night, killing at least 50 people according to diplomatic and aid sources cited by Reuters, while AFP sources put the toll at a minimum of 30. WAMAPS, a network of West African journalists covering Sahel security, also reported a provisional death toll exceeding 50 villagers. A security source told AFP the attacks were carried out in retaliation for acts attributed to the Dan Na Ambassagou militia, a local self-defence group. The Malian army said it conducted a targeted operation in the area, neutralising around 10 fighters and destroying their logistical base.

The attacks are described as the deadliest since a coordinated nationwide offensive last month by JNIM and the separatist Azawad Liberation Front, during which Defence Minister Sadio Camara was killed in an apparent suicide truck bombing near Bamako. Gen Assimi Goïta has since announced he will assume the defence minister role himself.

❗️Putin aide Ushakov said any settlement in Ukraine will remain fruitless without the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbas, even after 10 rounds of talks. The Russian presidential aide framed Moscow’s demand as a condition for progress in negotiations.

The total effect of sanctions on Russia and other forms of pressure is producing the necessary results, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The president reported on a conversation with Alexander Stubb. The sides coordinated positions ahead of upcoming international meetings and negotiations.

According to President Zelenskyy, they also discussed cooperation with the United States and European partners. He emphasized that sanctions and other pressure tools against Russia are already yielding tangible results.

Помощник Путина Юрий Ушаков заявил: «Урегулирование украинского конфликта без вывода ВСУ из Донбасса будет стоять на месте хоть через 10 раундов переговоров».

Странно. Столько лет мы слышим российские прогнозы о скором военном взятии региона, а в итоге всё сводится к дипломатическим ультиматумам.
