South Ossetia's PM resigns, clearing the way for a Russian technocrat to drive 'integration'

Published Jun 8, 2026 · 14:46 GMT

The prime minister of breakaway South Ossetia has resigned, opening the way for a Russian technocrat to lead closer 'integration' with Moscow. We are awaiting the response of Georgia and Western governments, which view such moves as creeping annexation of Georgian territory.

⏳ One side so far — awaiting the other. We've published the account below while we seek a response from the other side. If and when it comes, we'll add it here and move this into its section.
South Ossetia / Moscow

The reshuffle is presented as a step toward deeper integration of the Russian-backed breakaway region with Moscow, with a Russian technocrat lined up to lead the process — framed as natural alignment rather than annexation.

A move to suspend Colombia's President Petro: defending the election, or an unconstitutional power play?

A member of the Colombian Congress's Accusations Committee issued an order purporting to provisionally suspend leftist President Gustavo Petro until June 21, amid accusations he improperly meddled in the upcoming election. Backers cast it as accountability for interfering in the vote; Petro and legal experts call the order unconstitutional — issued by a single lawmaker, bypassing the procedure that requires the full House committee and the Senate — and Petro has alleged extortion.
