Zaluzhnyi Claims Office Raid Amid Zelenskyy Rift

Former Ukrainian Military Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi has disclosed previously unknown information regarding an incident where agents from Ukraine's domestic security service (SBU) searched his office out of spite for his increasing friction with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. After being removed as Head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2024, Zaluzhnyi was appointed ambassador to the UK.

Poland Extends Belarus Border Exclusion Zone

Poland has opted to elongate its border exclusion zone (comprising 56 km of its eastern Podlaskie province) adjacent to Belarus for an additional three-month period. This move, aimed at preventing illegal crossings, has been attributed by Poland to being part of Russia's hybrid war through the actions of Belarus. The original establishment of the exclusion zone was in June 2024 for an initial 90-day period. The exclusion zone was created to address illegal border crossings and human trafficking, and subsequently renewed every three months since its initial establishment. The current regulations and rules end on March 4.

NATO launches Arctic Sentry amid rising tensions

The announcement of "Arctic Sentry," a new NATO security initiative, signals a fundamental change in the way NATO regards the Arctic region. A former US Arctic envoy, Michael Sfraga, has suggested that "no more innocence" will be allowed to rule the Arctic, and has warned of a serious lack of concern regarding tensions in the Arctic due to the growth of geopolitical competition. Arctic Sentry signals a change in the Arctic from the view that the Arctic will continue to be a zone for peaceful cooperation through to a view where there will continue to be increased military activity and strategic interests, moving forward, as opposed to the past.

Polish Coal Miners Protest Underground Before Christmas

About 30 – 40 coal miners employed at the "Silesia" coal mine in southern Poland have decided to hold an underground protest as they do not want to exit the mine prior to Christmas. The protests are a result of the job cuts, but also because the miners do not qualify for any of the new protections granted under the Polish Mining Act, which was signed into law last week, and therefore have no legal recourse for their grievances.
