📌 Ukraine – Elections Require a U.S. Security Guarantee
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is ready to hold elections within 60–90 days if the U.S. and its allies can guarantee the security of voting. Under pressure from President Trump to hold elections as part of peace negotiations, Zelensky requested American and European support to ensure safe polling amid the war. He rejected accusations of clinging to power, calling such claims inappropriate, and noted that wartime elections are currently prohibited by law.
📌 UN – Human Rights Office in “Survival Mode” After Funding Cuts
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) is operating in “survival mode” after major funding cuts from international donors. He warned that resources have been sharply reduced not only for the office itself but also for human rights organisations worldwide, including local grassroots actors, at a time when violations and humanitarian needs are increasing in conflict zones.
📌 Australia – AUKUS Submarine Programme Faces Major Capacity Challenges
Australia’s Defence Minister said the AUKUS nuclear submarine programme faces significant challenges, particularly in building a skilled workforce, securing supply chains, and preparing base infrastructure. A recent Pentagon review examined the pace of Australia’s preparations and U.S. production capacity ahead of AUKUS defence meetings in Washington. Canberra still aims to host four U.S. Virginia-class submarines at its Perth naval base by the end of 2027, despite the “enormous uplift” required.
