A lawsuit in the ICC against Kim Jong-un

— We will make a decision after the combat use of the North Korean army against the citizens of Ukraine. But if South Korea supports our corresponding paths, I think, together with our allies, we are ready to take the corresponding steps, — said Vladimir Zelensky.

The head of state also said that Ukraine plans to exchange North Korean prisoners of war for Ukrainian citizens if North Korean troops are captured.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky said that the ICC arrest warrant for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin cannot completely correct the situation, but it has deprived the Russian dictator of the opportunity to travel to most countries.

A Russian soldier pardoned by Putin carried out a terrorist attack and killed a dozen occupiers Sofia Khushvakhtova

A Russian soldier committed mass murder of his comrades in the occupied Zaporizhia region. He killed 11 soldiers while on duty.

Russian soldier Maxim Fedorchenko, who was previously pardoned by Russian President Putin, committed a massacre in the occupied Zaporizhia region. Denis Kazansky reported this on his Telegram channel.

While intoxicated, he attacked his fellow soldiers, resulting in the death of 11 people.

The report says that Russian journalists contacted Fedorchenko's wife. She admitted that her husband was constantly drinking alcohol at the front, which could have contributed to this act.

Please note! It is worth noting that Fedorchenko was imprisoned for violence against his wife, when he poured boiling water on her and stabbed her.

Due to the large losses of personnel in Ukraine, Russia began to use prisoners at the front. In exchange for freedom, they were obliged to go to war against Ukraine. Despite this, after returning to Russia, former prisoners continue to commit crimes against both strangers and relatives.

President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the disclosure of information about Ukraine's request to provide Tomahawk missiles, which was in the secret annex of the Victory Plan. In his opinion, without providing this assistance, such a leak indicates the indecision of the allies.

He said this during a meeting with the heads of territorial communities and districts of Transcarpathia.

Zelensky commented on the leak of information about Tomahawk

Zelensky said that any plan is strong when it is supported. According to him, if one of the partners wants to disclose the details of the closed Victory Plan for Ukraine, they should first provide assistance, and only then talk.

– Because when one of the partners first says that it is in the appendix, it means that they do not really want to give something, thus postponing the decision, – the president said.

He noted that Ukraine has not disclosed all the details of its Victory Plan, and does not really support the fact that the partners “have already begun to give some messages in the information space abroad”

Recall that on October 29, The New York Times reported that in the secret Part of the Victory Plan presented to Western allies included a request for Tomahawk missiles.

The next day, on October 30, Zelensky confirmed this fact. He noted that this information was confidential between Ukraine and the White House, and the disclosure of such details “means that there is nothing confidential between the partners”.

86 minutes of tension: North Korea launched an intercontinental missile towards Japan Anastasia Didenko

North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile over the Sea of ​​Japan on October 31. It set new records for altitude and flight duration.

Defense Express reports on this. The last time a ballistic missile was launched in the direction of the Sea of ​​Japan was on September 18.

Japan on high alert

North Korea reportedly launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on the morning of October 31 that flew over the Sea of ​​Japan, setting new records for altitude and flight duration. According to the Japanese Defense Ministry, the missile reached an altitude of 7,000 kilometers and stayed in the air for 86 minutes before falling harmlessly into the ocean.

The launch took place at about 7:10 a.m. local time from the Pyongyang area, the South Korean military said.

This came hours after the United States and South Korea condemned the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia to fight in the war against Ukraine. Such deployment of military personnel, according to Seoul and Washington, strengthens military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow, which could threaten stability in the region.

According to Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani, this launch was the first since reports of North Korea providing troops for the war.

While Pyongyang denies involvement in military actions on the Ukrainian front, Seoul and Tokyo have expressed concern about the possible exchange of military technology between the DPRK and Russia, which could potentially help Pyongyang improve ballistic weapons.

By the way, Josep Borrell is going on a diplomatic mission to Japan and South Korea to discuss the situation and hold the first EU Strategic Dialogue with these countries countries.

The European Intelligence Center has confirmed the presence of several thousand DPRK soldiers in Russia, which is a violation of the UN Charter and UN Security Council resolutions.

In October, courts in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn, Zakarpattia and Ternopil regions issued about a hundred decisions not to imprison soldiers who left their military unit for the first time on their own, but to allow them to return to service.

The press service of the State Bureau of Investigation reports this.

100 soldiers who went to the Special Operations Department will return to service

Thus, in Lviv, a court made a corresponding decision regarding a soldier who left his military unit in the Donetsk region without permission this spring.

During the pre-trial investigation, the State Bureau of Investigation established the location of the serviceman and detained him. Then the man was informed of the suspicion of unauthorized abandonment of a military unit under martial law (Part 5 of Article 407 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The man explained his actions by the fact that he had been on the front lines for a long time and simply could not handle the workload. However, he said that he regretted what he had done.

Considering the fact that the serviceman had unauthorizedly abandoned a military unit for the first time and was ready to continue serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the court, on the basis of Part 5 of Article 401 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ruled to release him from criminal liability.

Another case occurred at the end of October, when a court in the Volyn region released from criminal liability a serviceman who, in the fall of 2023, voluntarily left a military unit stationed in Volyn.

The man repented of his actions and received written consent from the commander of the military unit to reinstate him in service. Based on this, the court decided to release him from criminal liability.

The State Bureau of Investigation once again reminded that unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service, without good reason, committed in combat circumstances, is punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years.

However, those who find themselves in such a situation for the first time have a chance to return to duty.

Recall that in August 2024, the Rada supported bill No. 11322, which removes liability for the first unauthorized abandonment of a military unit (SZCh) or desertion. However, this happens on condition that the serviceman independently returned to the unit and the commander allowed him to continue serving.
