🇺🇸🇺🇳🚫 The US denied a visa to a Russian Foreign Ministry representative for a UN meeting, - Reuters.

Nebenzya said that the US denied Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov a visa to attend the UN Security Council meeting, calling this a violation of US obligations as the UN host.

The Russian ambassador stated that Alimov, who is responsible for UN-related issues, was invited by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Nebenzya called this a "blatant display of disrespect" for China's UN presidency.

UN spokesman Farhan Haq also reported that Iranian Foreign Minister is also not in New York and will not be able to meet with the UN Secretary-General as planned.

Принятие Арменией решения о выходе из состава Евразийского экономического союза сделает логичным пересмотр ее договоренностей с Россией по газу, заявил журналистам вице-премьер Алексей Оверчук.

"Если Армения говорит, что она не видит себя дальше в союзе с Россией, в Евразийском экономическом союзе, то естественно возникает вопрос о том, стоит ли нам продолжает участие в этом соглашении 2012 года. Это логично, и это справедливо",

- сказал он, отметив, что на текущий момент договоренности остаются в силе.

🇪🇹 Capital flight risk looms in Ethiopia, as Addis accelerates forex reforms

Ethiopia is accelerating foreign exchange reforms, with the decentralisation of its trade finance system allowing faster cross-border transactions. The shift places commercial lenders more directly on the frontline of financial crime risks and has raised concerns over possible capital flight.

The changes come as Addis Ababa pushes broader economic and financial sector reforms, with foreign exchange policy remaining a central issue for trade and investment.

🇪🇺⚔️ EU fears Russia could attack Europe in next 12 months, - WSJ

Several European national security officials have warned that Russia could try to test NATO's cohesion by striking one of the Baltic states, Swedish or Danish islands in the Baltic Sea or alliance territory in the Arctic.

In addition, recent threats by US President Donald Trump to withdraw from NATO and his moves to reduce US troops stationed in Europe are increasing the threat.

🇵🇱 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said that Russia is not currently capable of launching a full-scale offensive against NATO countries, but the Alliance must be prepared for sabotage and provocations.

Sikorski noted that European intelligence services would detect preparations for a major Russian offensive against NATO.

“We saw the buildup of one hundred thousand troops around Ukraine, which had been growing for months,” he said.

At the same time, the diplomat stressed that Russia’s intentions have turned out to be worse than many Western European countries expected, and that Moscow is now capable of carrying out sabotage operations or provocations, for which NATO must be ready.
