Haiti

• The UN Security Council approved a one-year multinational security mission for Haiti, which Kenya will lead.
• Haiti's oft-struggling government welcomed the news: "This is more than a simple vote. This is, in fact, an expression of solidarity with a population in distress."

• Foreign ministers from 23 of 27 EU member states (and delegates from the other four) met in Kyiv to reiterate the EU's support for Ukraine.
• Meanwhile, Ukraine reported that its drones hit a record 220 Russian targets last week.

• Denis Mukwege, a doctor who won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize for his work against sexual violence, announced he will run for president in DRC's December election.
• Incumbent president Felix Tshisekedi is running again, as is opposition leader Martin Fayulu, who came in second to Tshisekedi in 2018 (at least according to official results, which Fayulu's opposition disputed).

• Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh reported that the last buses of fleeing ethnic Armenians left yesterday. Aside from a handful of holdouts, the entire population has now fled and the capital of Stepanakert is deserted.
• There doesn't seem to be much organized resistance among the few holdouts, but Russian peacekeepers reported that a joint patrol with Azerbaijani forces came under sniper fire from "an unknown person."
• Azerbaijan's Pres. Aliyev - who instigated last week's lightning skirmish that led to the unrecognized Armenian government's capitulation and collapse - pledged equality for all residents of Nagorno-Karabakh...all 5 of them who remain.

• After insisting it had not amassed troops at the border with Kosovo, Serbia said it had reduced troop levels back "to normal." The State Dept. responded: "We are waiting to see confirmation of this. But if it is true, it would be a welcome step."
