🇺🇦🇷🇺 **Zelenskyy and Lavrov clash over the future of Crimea**
Ukrainian President **Volodymyr Zelenskyy** said that a return to normal life for Ukrainians is impossible without the **liberation of Crimea**, keeping the peninsula at the center of Kyiv’s vision for a post-war settlement.
Russian Foreign Minister **Sergey Lavrov**, meanwhile, reiterated Moscow’s position at the UN Security Council that the **“issue of Crimea is closed forever.”**
The two statements underline one of the fundamental obstacles to any comprehensive peace agreement: **Kyiv insists Crimea must return to Ukraine, while Moscow says its status is non-negotiable.**
And judging by the statements coming out of New York, **the only thing moving faster than diplomacy is the distance between the two positions.** 🇺🇦🇷🇺😏

The FBI is aware of a cyber-criminal enterprise group claiming a compromise of the fbijobs.gov portal and alleged impact to FBI employee personally identifiable information (PII).

Russian occupation of Crimea lies at the core of Moscow’s war and the Black Sea crisis, President Zelensky said at the Crimea Platform summit.
He stressed Ukraine is ready to ensure safe shipping if Russia takes real de-escalation steps.

🇺🇦 **Zelenskyy says the demands of office are taking a toll**
Ukrainian President **Volodymyr Zelenskyy** said in an interview with *The Wall Street Journal* that the enormous workload of leading Ukraine during wartime has affected his health.
“I have to make hundreds of deals every day. It’s not very easy,” Zelenskyy said, describing the relentless pressure of negotiations and decision-making.
His remarks offer a glimpse into the extraordinary demands placed on Ukraine’s leadership during the war.
As for the rest of the allegation—there is **no basis here to present claims about drug use as fact**.
Hundreds of deals a day is a brutal schedule. **At that pace, even the coffee machine probably needs a military exemption.** ☕🇺🇦😏

The PENTTBOM investigation was headed by Mueller, as the FBI Chief at the time.

Robert Mueller, an excellent and outstanding lawyer and investigator, had one flaw: unquestionable obedience to authority.

They (Bush Jr.) told him that it was “Al Qaeda”, and he never dared to question it.
Putin and other organizers are likely to have known this, and took this into consideration.
So that’s how it became Al Qaeda.
And that’s how Putin got off the hook. No one bothered or dared to consider that Putin could be behind “Al Qaeda”.
REINVESTIGATE THE 9/11!

A ransomware gang essentially targeted the FBI and the mafia this week. This is not a winning strategy.
This ransomware gang—Shiny Hunters—is made up of many teenagers (or those who act like teenagers) who have a pathological need to be right, even when they are wrong. This helps explain why they often act so recklessly.
And that recklessness escalated even further this week as Shiny sought to retaliate against two high-profile targets for perceived grievances.
First, over the weekend, the gang reportedly took over longstanding ransomware gang Cl0P’s website and threatened to leak data unless the Cl0P gave Shiny ALL of its proceeds from a Cl0P campaign last fall…tens of millions of dollars. Shiny claims they found the zero day vulnerability used in CL0P’s campaign first, and therefore should receive all ransoms.
Then yesterday, Shiny reportedly defaced the FBIJobs website and claimed to have stolen information about all FBI personnel. From what I have seen, some of the claims appears accurate while a few others feel off. Shiny is actually not demanding money here. Instead, the gang is demanding that the FBI retract details from its recent public advisory that Shiny claims are inaccurate. (Give me a break 🙄)
When I first heard about Shiny attacking Cl0P, it struck me as incredibly foolish. Cl0P has been around longer than almost any other ransomware gang. Unlike most other cyber criminal groups, they are disciplined, focused on less frequent/bigger campaigns, and keep all their work in house and closed to outsiders. Their campaigns never felt like a first time organized crime rodeo. This behavior plus the overall deep overlaps between many ransomware gangs and Russian government and organized crime has always made me suspect CL0P actors came from and/or are still connected to Russian organized crime. That’s why I make the comparison to attacking the cyber equivalent of the mafia.
So it felt even crazier to me when news started breaking about Shiny also attempting to retaliate days later against the FBI.
Ransomware groups are largely successful because they operate like businesses. Targeting other criminal groups or law enforcement — especially in ways intended to publicly shame — demonstrates a lack of discipline that historically has led to takedowns, takeovers or defections.
RIP the Shiny Hunters brand? I guess we will see. But when any threat actor targets the FBI directly, they should expect that the FBI is going to marshal additional resources to bring them more quickly to justice. That is, if other criminal gangs don’t get to them first.
