⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for a documentary titled "The UN from the 20th to the 21st Century" (Moscow, September 25, 2024) Key points: • Less than a year after the victorious powers established the UN based on the noble principles formulated in its charter, it became clear that the West, acting contrary to these principles, intended to launch a war against the Soviet Union, and not merely a cold war but an all-out war. These plans hatched by the then "Anglo-Saxons" [nations of the Anglosphere led by the US & UK] have long become public knowledge. • Once NATO was created, the Soviet Union circulated a large document which demonstrated the detrimental effect of that and the danger of building walls between the East and the West, especially in Europe, and called for respecting the #UNCharter and for working towards this. Our call was not heeded. ✊ However, we kept fighting for justice and the implementation of the principle of sovereign equality of nations. Decolonisation was a bright stage and a major embodiment of that principle. The Soviet Union was the main initiator of the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. Following its adoption, the number of UN states increased by 80-90 members. • They tell us that the main goal today is to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is a misleading interpretation of the UN Charter, where the right of nations to self-determination is put before territorial integrity. • Even before demanding respect for territorial integrity, the UN Charter demands respect for human rights without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion <…> Now that Zelensky’s Nazi regime, which the West nurtured, has banned both the language and religious rights of a large number of its own population, the West has put away the banners it was waving for decades. ❗️The top priority now is to ensure the achievement of the initial goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole, rather than selectively or occasionally. • The reform of the UN Security Council is not a one-off event. It’s a process which has been ongoing since the time the United Nations came into being <...> Nevertheless, it relies on principles that must be preserved at all costs. The main principle is that the Security Council reform should be based on a broad-based agreement among states. It does not say “consensus,” but it does state “broad-based agreement among states.” 🌍🇮🇳🇧🇷 We have invariably supported the legitimate aspirations of India and Brazil to secure permanent seats in the Security Council. However, African aspirations must be met as well. Africa has common collective positions, which we respect. And we would have like that. • Our position implies providing additional seats for Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are open to some of these seats being permanent, but we need to achieve general agreement before we can move forward. It is a complicated process. I don’t see any chance for bringing this process to a swift and expedited completion any time soon. • Since the UN was created, there has never been a time, a region, or a situation that involved the United States in one way or another, where the country would actually respect that principle. Every time, everywhere they acted as a hegemon, or like a "bull in a china shop". • When they wanted to punish Russia, the West abandoned all the principles which it was feeding to us and which it declared sacred. The same is happening to the principles of the UN Charter. The West is trampling and destroying them without a moment’s hesitation. ➡️ Read in full #UNGA79#UNCharterIsOurRules

🇰🇷S. Korea to Recover 90% of Naphtha Supply in May South Korea expects to secure up to 90% of pre-Iran war naphtha volumes for May, with major petrochemical firms lifting plant utilisation rates. Yeochun NCC, which had declared force majeure on some products, raised operations to 65% from 55% on April 1; Korea Petrochemical Ind. moved from 62% to 72% over the same period. Seoul has committed ₩674.4bn ($457mn) to subsidise up to 50% of the price gap between pre-war and current naphtha import costs for April–June. It has also locked in 2.1mn tonnes of alternative naphtha from four Middle Eastern suppliers — including Oman and Saudi Arabia — equivalent to roughly one month of national demand. A parallel crude oil swap system, drawing on state strategic reserves, has processed deals for ~14mn barrels with a further 16.5mn barrels targeted for May. The swap mechanism, initially set to run through end-May, is under review for extension given the prolonged Middle East conflict and high private-sector uptake. #SouthKorea#MiddleEast @asianomics

🛢 Oil Prices Drop 4% After Trump Predicts End to Middle East War 📉 Oil prices fell sharply on Tuesday after hitting a three-year high, as Donald Trump suggested the Middle East war could end soon, easing fears of prolonged global supply disruptions. 💵 Brent crude dropped $4.17 (4.2%) to $94.79 a barrel, while U.S. WTI crude fell $3.81 (4%) to $90.96. Prices had surged past $100 a barrel on Monday due to Saudi production cuts and the expanding U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. 🤝 Market concerns eased after Vladimir Putin spoke with Trump and presented proposals aimed at quickly resolving the conflict. Trump said he believed the war with Iran was «very complete» and ahead of his expected timeline. ⚔️ Iran responded, warning it would control oil exports if attacks continued, while Trump reportedly considered easing sanctions on Russia and releasing emergency crude reserves. 🌍 G7 members said they were ready to take «necessary measures» to address the oil price spike, but did not commit to releasing reserves. #MiddleEast#News

🚨 Oil Prices Surge Over 25% Amid Middle East Conflict Global oil prices jumped sharply on Monday, rising more than 25% to the highest levels since mid-2022 as the conflict involving Israel, Iran and the United States disrupted supply. ⚓️ Strait of Hormuz under pressure – This key shipping route carries around 20% of the world’s oil, and disruptions to tanker movements have slowed deliveries, leaving Asian importers particularly exposed. 📈 Market moves – Brent crude hit $117.65 per barrel, up 27%, while U.S. WTI climbed 28.3% to $116.62. Earlier, Brent briefly touched $119.50 and WTI $119.48. ⛽️ Supply cuts – Iraq and Kuwait have reduced production, while Qatar’s LNG output has also fallen, tightening energy markets further. 👤 Geopolitical impact – The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader reinforced expectations of continued hardline policies, adding to market uncertainty. #MiddleEast#News

🚨 Iran Names Mojtaba Khamenei as New Supreme Leader 🇮🇷 Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed Iran’s new supreme leader, succeeding his father Ali Khamenei, who was killed earlier during the ongoing conflict. The decision was announced by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, which said it selected him by a decisive vote. 👤 Mojtaba Khamenei, a mid-ranking cleric with strong ties to Iran’s security establishment, had long been seen as a leading successor. As supreme leader, he now holds ultimate authority over Iran’s political, military and religious institutions. ⚠️ The appointment comes as the war involving Iran, the United States and Israel enters its second week. Tensions remain high, with Israeli strikes hitting oil storage facilities in Tehran, while Iran reports more than 1,300 civilians killed in the campaign. 🌍 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military campaign against Iran’s leadership would continue, while U.S. officials confirmed additional American casualties from earlier Iranian attacks. ✈️ The escalating conflict is also pushing up global energy prices and disrupting international travel, adding to wider geopolitical tensions in the region. #MiddleEast#News

🚨 Indonesia Threatens to Quit Trump’s "Board of Peace" ⚖️ Indonesia’s Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto warned he may withdraw from Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” if the initiative fails to benefit Palestinians, according to a government statement. 🌍 The board oversees an international stabilisation force in Gaza, part of a ceasefire arrangement that ended the two-year Israel-Hamas war. Indonesia had agreed to contribute troops, but domestic Islamic groups have criticised the move. 🔥 The ongoing conflict involving Iran has further complicated deployment plans, with U.S. officials saying timelines for the stabilisation force may shift due to regional instability. 📌 Domestic pressure is growing, with organisations like the Indonesian Ulema Council urging Jakarta to leave the initiative, while Nahdlatul Ulama suggests using the board to push for broader Middle East peace. 🇮🇩 Prabowo stressed that Indonesia’s participation depends on serving Palestinian and national interests, signalling the country could step back if the initiative no longer aligns with these priorities. #MiddleEast#News

🌏 Central Asia in 2026: Safe Haven or Illusion? Geopolitical Risk Insights 📊 London-based analyst Alexander Smotrov, former Director of Global Counsel, shared with Kursiv Uzbekistan his perspective on geopolitical risk and investment opportunities in Central Asia and the Gulf amid 2026’s global volatility. ⚠️ Geopolitical volatility is now the baseline. Investors face synchronized crises, fragmented sanctions, and rising political risks. Smotrov warns that diversification is less effective, requiring highly selective assessments of markets and sectors. No “safe havens” exist, though areas of relative stability remain. 🛢 Middle East tensions—especially around Iran—could trigger capital reallocation similar to the Ukraine war. While the Gulf has long been viewed as relatively stable, recent escalations have pressured monarchies to engage in active diplomacy to maintain their reputations as investment hubs. 🌐 Central Asia as a “neutral zone.” Smotrov notes that countries like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have skillfully balanced relations with China, Russia, the Gulf, Turkey, and the West. This equidistance presents opportunities, but neutrality could be tested if global polarization increases. 👉 Read about this and more in the full article #MiddleEast#News
