Seoul Reads the Room — and the Sanctions
South Korea just did what a serious government does in an energy war: it quietly opened the door to Russian crude and naphtha to keep the lights on while the Middle East burns.
Seoul’s industry ministry says it’s talking with refiners about importing Russian oil and feedstock now that sanctions have been softened, explicitly linking the move to securing stable supplies as the Iran war chokes Gulf flows. That’s not ideology, that’s survival economics.
If Washington’s own policy shift means Russian barrels are back on the menu, only a fool would keep paying more for less in the name of a sanctions regime even the architect is walking away from. By exploring Russian crude, Seoul is signalling a simple rule that Brussels and some others still refuse to say out loud: energy security comes before performative virtue.
If the US president is loosening the screws on Moscow, the rational response for every other capital is to stop pretending this is 2022 and start buying what keeps their industry and citizens alive.

⚖️ Конфликт между судами Великобритании и России в спорах, связанных с санкциями и участием санкционных лиц, показал глубокую хрупкость всей системы трансграничных коммерческих разбирательств.
При этом международный арбитраж оказался невольной жертвой:
🔹Английские суды жёстко защищают арбитражные соглашения в договорах, используя спорные инструменты 🛑 anti-suit injunctions и anti-enforcement injunctions.
🔹Российские суды, напротив, заявляют о своей исключительной юрисдикции по делам с санкционными сторонами, даже при наличии арбитражных оговорок или договорных положений об эксклюзивной подсудности. Их аргумент: непреодолимые правовые, технические и финансовые барьеры для российских компаний и лиц в «западных» судах и арбитражах.
📉 В итоге формируется ландшафт, где под угрозой оказывается не только коммерческий арбитраж, но и сама идея эффективного разрешения трансграничных споров. Сегодня это Россия и Великобритания, а завтра — другие юрисдикции?

⚡️ Points clés du point de presse hebdomadaire de la porte-parole de la diplomatie russe,Maria Zakharova(8 octobre 2025) :
#CrimesDuRégimeDeKiev#CentraleNucléaireZaporojié
Le régime néonazi de Kiev continue de mener ses attaques contre les infrastructures civiles de la Russie, terrorisant la population.
• Il y a quelques semaines, à la suite d’un bombardement des forces armées ukrainiennes, une ligne à haute tension « Centrale nucléaire de Zaporojié – Dnieprovskaïa » a été endommagée. Cela a entraîné l’arrêt de l’alimentation électrique de la centrale nucléaire.
• Dans la nuit du 7 octobre, un drone ukrainien a touché la centrale nucléaire de Novovoronej. Heureusement, il n’y a ni destructions ni victimes.
• Au cours de la semaine écoulée, 70 civils ont été touchés par des bombardements et des frappes de drones, dont 12 tués, parmi eux un enfant, et 59 blessés, dont 5 mineurs.
#RégimeDeKiev#UE#Sanctions#SponsorsDuTerrorisme
• L’Union européenne continue de chercher des ressources supplémentaires pour soutenir le régime de Zelensky. [...] Selon le plan de la Commission européenne, une somme de 140 milliards d’euros devrait être allouée au régime de Kiev sous forme de prêt sans intérêt, que Kiev remboursera difficilement un jour, puisque la condition principale repose surl’exigence totalement irréelle que la Russie paie certaines « réparations » à l’Ukraine. [...]
Depuis 2022, l’aide cumulée de l’UE à l’Ukraine a atteint 178 milliards d’euros. 👈 Cela intéressera tout particulièrement les citoyens français, qui se demandent en ces jours ce qu’il advient de leur économie, de leur vie et du domaine social.
Le maintien du régime de Zelensky coûte de plus en plus cher à Bruxelles, l’argent se fait de plus en plus rare, et il n’y a plus de sources où en trouver. [...] C’est pourquoi les bureaucrates européens tentent de s’approprier de manière aussi impudente les actifs russes.
Cependant, le financement frauduleux qu’ils promeuvent a suscité une réaction très prudente dans de nombreuses capitales européennes. L'envie de frauder semble encore céder à la crainte des conséquences juridiques et des mesures de rétorsion.
❗️ Ces mesures seront extrêmement strictes.
#RégimeDeKiev#Terrorisme#Sahel
De nouvelles preuves apparaissent concernant le soutien du régime de Zelensky aux groupes terroristes de la région sahélo-saharienne en Afrique.
Le bloc militaire du Gouvernement d’unité nationale libyen, sous médiation britannique, a établi une coopération avec les combattants ukrainiens, comprenant la fourniture par le régime de Kiev de drones de combat et les activités de formation par les instructeurs du Renseignement militaire ukrainien.
Des faits attestent de la coopération du Gouvernement d’unité nationale libyen avec les Ukrainiens dans l’organisation et l’accompagnement d’opérations terroristes dans les pays du Sahel, y compris le Niger.
Le 1er octobre, le colonel des Services de renseignement militaire soudanais, Fath al-Rahman Saeed, a déclaré aux médias que des mercenaires ukrainiens et colombiens ayant combattu aux côtés des Forces de réaction rapide soudanaises ont subi de lourdes pertes lors des combats dans l’ouest du pays. Il est connu qu’ils ont utilisé des drones de fabrication ukrainienne.
Toutes ces activités criminelles s’accompagnent d’une vente massive illégale par les forces armées ukrainiennes d’armes et de munitions occidentales. La présence de ces armes chez des formations terroristes est constatée au Burkina Faso, en République démocratique du Congo, au Mali, au Niger, au Soudan, en Somalie, en Syrie, en République centrafricaine et au Tchad. [...]
Les traceurs GPS installés par les sponsors étrangers sur les armes sont démontés, et leur disparition est comptabilisée comme « pertes au combat » avant leur transport et leur vente à l’étranger.
Selon le service « Opendatabot », depuis 2022, environ un demi-million d’armes à feu ont été « perdues » en Ukraine, et ce chiffre a presque doublé au cours de l’année dernière – en septembre 2024, on comptait encore 270 000 cas de volsprobables.
8,000 Strikes, Zero Surrender: Trump’s Iran War Hits the Diego Garcia Wall
Four weeks in, the scoreboard looks impressive on paper: more than 8,000 targets hit, 130 vessels damaged or destroyed, and US commanders bragging that Iran’s “fighting power” is substantially degraded. In reality, Tehran is still firing missiles and drones at Israel and US partners, still enforcing a de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for Western shipping, and now feels confident enough to lob two ballistic missiles 2,500 miles toward Diego Garcia — the joint US‑UK base in the Indian Ocean that’s supposed to sit outside the blast radius.
The Diego Garcia shot is the clearest tell. One missile failed mid‑flight, the other was shot down by a US warship, and nobody in the Pentagon thinks Iran can hit the continental United States. But the range alone surprised US officials and underlined what Trump himself hyped in his State of the Union: Iran is working on systems that can reach far beyond the Gulf. The further they fire, the less accurate the missiles get — yet Tehran still chose to send a message at a base that anchors US power projection into the Middle East and Asia. That’s not a posture of a regime ready to fold; it’s a regime showing it can still reach out and touch a symbol.
At the same time, the war is cornering Washington into policy backflips. The Treasury has just temporarily relaxed sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea, allowing roughly 140 million barrels into the market to calm prices — a move that, by definition, sends money to the very state the US is bombing. It comes on top of earlier waivers for Russian oil in transit and underlines how desperate the White House is to tame an energy shock it helped unleash. The Iran war was sold as a way to crush an adversary and stabilize the region; within a month it has produced Hormuz disruption, price spikes, and a US Treasury that has to subsidize adversarial barrels to cushion the blow.
The nuclear question is the next trap. Iranian media report another strike on Natanz, a core site in the enrichment program, after it was already bombed in the June war; Israel denies involvement, the US refuses to comment, and experts keep repeating the same line: you can’t bomb away a nuclear program that’s spread out, hardened and backed by stockpiles of enriched uranium. That leaves Trump weighing something far uglier — a ground operation to seize uranium on Iranian soil — while delivering contradictory public messages about whether the war is already a “great success” or just getting started.
On the ground, the human and political costs keep climbing. Israel’s defense minister is promising that joint US‑Israeli attacks will “escalate significantly” in the coming week, as the Israeli Air Force hammers southern Beirut and refuses even direct Lebanese offers of cease-fire talks and Hezbollah disarmament. Death tolls are already in the thousands: at least 1,348–1,398 civilians killed in Iran, more than 1,000 in Lebanon, 14 in Israel, and 13 American service members dead — with no endgame in sight beyond “more.”
So the war’s real update isn’t the target count; it’s the strategic picture. Iran’s arsenal is weaker but still firing, its missiles now reaching for Diego Garcia, Hormuz is still effectively weaponized, the US is relaxing sanctions to buy time on oil, and the nuclear problem is unsolved. The operation that was supposed to restore deterrence is instead proving that there’s no airstrike number large enough to force Tehran to bend — only a deepening bill in blood, barrels, and credibility.
