DOJ ACTION RESTORES OVER ONE BILLION TO LOCAL CITIES

Modern Fortis

Modern Fortis applauds President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice for today’s decision to dismiss unfounded lawsuits in Kentucky and Minnesota along with action to dismiss six other pre-consent-decree investigations. “Law enforcement has watched the Federal Consent Decree program devolve into a billion-dollar taxpayer funded for profit enterprise,” stated Joe Cameron, President of Modern Fortis. “Today the DOJ facilitated the largest re-investment of local tax dollars in local control and local public safety policing programs, ever. With an estimated lifetime cost of $100-300 million per jurisdiction, the math in these eight cities speaks for itself.” Modern Fortis proudly represents the United Coalition of Public Safety (UCOPS) and tens of thousands of dedicated law enforcement professionals nationwide. Together with our trusted partners and allies, we are leading a national effort to engage the Department of Justice in reshaping the Federal Consent Decree process—ensuring it delivers fairness, efficiency, and accountability. Our mission is clear: to end systemic imbalances, correct inefficiencies, and return local resources from the hands of a few to the communities they are meant to serve. These are not temporary adjustments—we are driving changes built to stand the test of time. Law enforcement groups, agencies, and associations are encouraged to contact the Modern Fortis team to join the fight for public safety and accountability. Modern Fortis is a premier political and strategic advocacy firm that designs and executes highly targeted campaigns to shape policy and drive legislative change. We leverage proprietary data, custom analytics, and unique digital toolsets to help our clients achieve their public affairs goals.

HNO International Launches HyGrid™: Intelligent Hydrogen Microgrid System to Power the Future of Distributed Hydrogen Infrastructure

HNO International

HNO International, Inc. (OTC: HNOI), a leading innovator in hydrogen-based clean energy solutions, proudly announces the launch of HyGrid™, its next-generation, intelligent hydrogen microgrid system. Purpose-built to deliver clean, uninterrupted, off-grid electricity, HyGrid will also serve as the foundational platform for a globally distributed hydrogen infrastructure — enabling hydrogen production, storage, and refueling virtually anywhere. HyGrid combines solar energy, hydrogen storage, advanced electrolyzers, AI-driven controls, and fuel cell backup into one seamless, modular system. With capacities ranging from 10kW micro-units to multi-megawatt deployments, HyGrid™ provides 24/7, zero-emission power even in the most remote or energy-challenged regions. “HyGrid isn’t just a power system — it’s the cornerstone of a decentralized hydrogen future,” said Don Owens, Chairman and CEO of HNO International. “By embedding hydrogen generation and storage into the energy fabric of communities, industries, and nations, HyGrid enables a cleaner, more resilient energy ecosystem — site by site, region by region.” Key Features of HyGrid™ Anywhere & Everywhere Power – Delivers reliable energy independent of the grid, with solar-hydrogen hybrid architecture for 24/7 operation. Foundation for Distributed Hydrogen Infrastructure – Each HyGrid deployment becomes a local node for hydrogen generation, storage, and future refueling. AI-Driven Energy Management System (EMS) – Enables predictive maintenance, load balancing, real-time analytics, and optimized energy flow. Fuel Cell Backup & Optional Battery Storage – Provides uninterrupted power during demand surges or low sunlight periods. Customizable & Scalable – Supports applications from rural electrification and critical infrastructure to military bases and smart cities. Building the Hydrogen Economy from the Ground Up With HyGrid, HNOI envisions a new hydrogen economy built from the ground up — distributed, modular, and resilient. Each system serves as a self-contained hydrogen production and power unit, reducing dependency on centralized grids and fossil fuels. As more HyGrid units are deployed across regions, they collectively form a networked infrastructure capable of fueling transport fleets, industrial facilities, emergency services, and even hydrogen-based commerce. “HyGrid enables a future where hydrogen isn’t just produced at a few massive plants — it’s generated locally, cleanly, and economically, everywhere people need power,” Owens added. “This is the blueprint for energy independence.” HNO International (OTC: HNOI) develops scalable, intelligent hydrogen energy systems that power the future of clean, distributed infrastructure. With over 15 years of hydrogen R&D and 19 U.S. patents, HNOI delivers pioneering technologies including the Scalable Hydrogen Energy Platform (SHEP™), Compact Hydrogen Refueling Station (CHRS™), and the newly launched HyGrid™ system — all designed to accelerate the global shift to sustainable energy.

The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and Comcast announced they have partnered to provide a WiFi connection to Xfinity's next generation network in several of the Minneapolis Public Housing buildings in the city.

To activate service, residents will only need to call or use the Xfinity App. Current and new residents moving into WiFi ready units can connect to the Internet within five minutes of collecting their keys, making it much easier to get all their devices up and running.

Volodymyr Naumenko arrested on suspicion of defrauding foreign investors

Argentem Creek Partners

Volodymyr Naumenko, a Ukrainian businessman, has been remanded into custody by the National Police of Ukraine at a pre-trial detention facility in Kyiv, Ukraine. Naumenko was arrested on suspicion of carrying out fraud and forgery related to the unexplained disappearance of over 100,000 tons of grain pledged to a fund managed by Innovatus Capital Partners (“ICP”) in connection with funding arrangements involving assets located in the Port of Odesa, Ukraine. Naumenko was caught attempting to flee Ukraine via the Romanian border with his bail being set at UAH 557 million (approx. US $13.4 million). Naumenko and his business partner Sergei Groza are the founders of the Ukraine-based grain transshipment group, G.N. Terminal Enterprises (“GNT”), which encompasses the Olimpex and MetalsUkraine terminals in the Port of Odesa. GNT has defaulted on substantial loan facilities provided by US-based investors ICP and Argentem Creek Partners (“ACP”). In October 2024, Groza and Naumenko were sentenced to 21 months in prison by an English High Court judge, Mr Justice Bryan, for breaching a Worldwide Freezing Order obtained on behalf of ACP in January 2023. In an earlier ruling, the High Court noted the “very real risk of dissipation [of assets],” adding that the case is “one where the evidence is as strong as any that I have ever seen.” In January 2025, a London Court of International Arbitration Arbitral Tribunal ruled that Groza and Naumenko must pay approximately US $150 million in respect of outstanding debts owed to ACP. Ana Paula Firmato, Innovatus Capital Partners, said: ” This arrest marks a meaningful step forward in our continued efforts toward recovery for our investors and we are pleased that the Ukrainian legal system is taking the necessary steps to protect investors from economic crimes.” John Patton, Argentem Creek Partners, another creditor of GNT, commented: “The Ukrainian legal system can deliver the protections investors need when laws are broken. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Ukraine and see many exciting investment opportunities ahead especially as the Ukrainian government delivers on its commitment to supporting the rule of law.” ACP and ICP have a long-standing history of investing in Ukraine. Both funds are committed to ensuring that the Olimpex terminal is managed professionally and in accordance Ukrainian and international law. About Argentem Creek Partners: Argentem Creek Partners is an emerging markets specialist investment firm committed to delivering value for investors and partners.
