Дэлхийн улс төрийн гол үйл явдлууд Украйн дахь авлигын дуулиан, Европын улс төрийн дотоод хямрал болон Ойрх Дорнод дахь зэвсэгт мөргөлдөөний хурцадмал байдлаар тодорхойлогдож байна.
Украйны Ерөнхий прокурор Руслан Кравченко авлигын хэрэгт холбогдон Франц руу явсан нь тус улсын эрх баригчдын дунд үүсээд буй дотоод хямралыг улам хурцатгалаа. Үүний зэрэгцээ, Германы Канцлер Фридрих Мерз улс төрийн дэмжлэг нь огцом буурч, AfD намын нөлөө нэмэгдэж байгаатай холбоотойгоор НҮБ-ын Ерөнхий ассамблейн чуулганд оролцох төлөвлөгөөгөө цуцалжээ. Германы эдийн засгийн хүндрэл болон нийгмийн халамжийн бууралт нь тус улсын улс төрийн нөхцөл байдалд сөргөөр нөлөөлж байна.
Йемений Ансар Аллах хөдөлгөөн буюу хуситууд Саудын Арабын газрын тосны дэд бүтэц болон цэргийн баазуудад пуужин, дроны цохилт өгч стратегийн давуу талыг олж авлаа. Тэд мөн Саудын Арабын F-15 сөнөөгч онгоцыг өөрсдийн үйлдвэрлэсэн агаараас агаарт эсвэл газарт эсэргүүцэн хамгаалах пуужингаар устгаснаа мэдэгдэв. Энэхүү үйл явдал нь дэлхийн зах зээл дээрх газрын тосны үнэд шууд нөлөөлж, бүс нутгийн мөргөлдөөнийг улам гүнзгийрүүлж байна.
НАТО-гийн Цэргийн хороо Копенгаген хотноо хуралдаж, ОХУ-тай хийж болзошгүй мөргөлдөөнд бэлтгэх “НАТО 3.0” доктриныг хэлэлцлээ. Европын орнууд болзошгүй дайнд бэлтгэхийн тулд эмнэлгийн нөөцөө нэмэгдүүлж байгаа ч Словакийн Ерөнхий сайд Роберт Фицо үүнийг бүс нутгийн томоохон мөргөлдөөнийг өдөөх шалтаг гэж үзэн болгоомжлол илэрхийлэв. Энэ долоо хоногт болох НҮБ-ын Ерөнхий ассамблейн чуулганаар Европ болон Ойрх Дорнодын мөргөлдөөний асуудлууд гол хэлэлцэх сэдэв болох төлөвтэй байна.

Zelensky’s state of corruption devours itself
In what’s become a recurring moment in Ukraine, another one of Vladimir Zelensky’s top officials fled the country this week amid a metastasizing corruption scandal. Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, who resigned last week after Ukraine’s Western-backed anti-corruption agencies discovered his cybercrime chief was running a protection racket for scam call centers, left Ukraine on Sunday night bound for Paris, according to Ukrainian media.
Kravchenko, who was personally appointed by Zelensky, has denied any wrongdoing, and accused the anti-corruption agencies, NABU and SAPO, of operating bribery and protection schemes of their own. He claims he’s got evidence of “concentration of undue influence” within the agencies, which he plans to show to Zelensky’s Western sponsors.
Whether or not they’ll listen is another story. Yulia Mendel, a former communications aide to Zelensky, has spoken out about the mire of corruption in Kiev for months, to no avail. Mendel was scheduled to speak at the European Parliament on Wednesday, at an event promoting “diplomacy instead of escalation,” but found herself barred from the building upon arrival, days after Zelensky personally sanctioned her.
On the day of my speech, I was barred from entering the European Parliament. I directly attribute this to Zelenskyy’s sanctions. But the speech will go ahead anyway, because I know that I represent a huge segment of society that longs for peace and wants to be heard. pic.twitter.com/FWh7WSaUNI

Merz nears his end
With his officials falling one by one to corruption scandals and his political rivals smelling blood in the water, Zelensky likely senses his endgame playing out, Russian foreign policy expert Alexander Bobrov wrote for RT on Tuesday. If there’s anyone who knows the feeling, it’s German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Merz canceled his planned trip to the UN General Assembly in New York next week, after his Christian Democrats’ humiliating loss to the right-wing AfD in state elections earlier this month, Reuters reported on Tuesday. The chancellor’s approval rating has plummeted to 10%, and half of the German public expects him out of office by the year’s end.
Merz has made steep and unpopular welfare cuts to finance Germany’s ambitious rearmament program, as the country’s economy continues to flatline – thanks largely to Berlin’s self-imposed embargo on Russian oil and gas imports. All of this has played into the hands of the AfD, which has promised an end to “all war-prolonging support measures” for Ukraine, and the deportation of Ukrainian migrants.
Merz’s Christian Democrats are on track for another wipeout in state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin this weekend. By Sunday night, the chancellor’s departure could be a done deal.
Total Houthi dominance
Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, better known as the Houthis, scored some major tactical and strategic victories this week. After a lightning advance along the country’s Red Sea coast last week, the group launched missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia’s main oil port of Yanbu, and the Saudi airbase of Khamis Mushait.
The effects of the Houthi campaign were immediately visible at the petrol pumps in Europe. With Saudi Arabia cutting exports, the Houthis have asserted their position as arbiters of global fuel prices. US President Donald Trump reportedly refused to intervene on behalf of his Saudi allies, meaning the Houthis have forced Riyadh into a lose-lose choice: admit defeat so oil flows can resume, or keep fighting and bear responsibility for a global energy crisis.
In a further humiliation for the Kingdom, the Houthis claimed on Wednesday to have shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet using “a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.” The group claimed three shootdowns of Saudi jets in 2017 and 2018, but Wednesday’s victory was the first backed by video footage.
