We are talking about a small-sized balloon, which, as the occupiers say, they have defused. In particular, this was reported in a Russian public page with reference to their Ministry of Defense, 24 Channel reports.

The European Union is deeply concerned by the information that North Korea is sending its troops to Russia to participate in a full-scale war against Ukraine.

This was stated by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

The EU commented on the sending of DPRK troops to Russia

Borrell stressed that the participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine would be a serious violation of international law, in particular the fundamental principles of the UN Charter.

According to the EU representative, this would be a unilateral hostile act by the DPRK with serious consequences for European and global peace and security.

He noted that this development also illustrates once again how Russia is spreading instability and escalation in the region and around the world.

– The European Union strongly condemns the deepening military cooperation and arms transfers between Russia and North Korea, which violate United Nations Security Council resolutions. The European Union calls on North Korea to stop supporting Russian troops in their illegal efforts, Josep Borrell said.

He also added that the deepening of Russia's military cooperation with the DPRK sends a clear signal: despite its declared readiness for negotiations, Russia is not interested in a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.

Meanwhile, according to the EU representative, Russia is on the contrary escalating and desperately seeking any help for its war, in particular from entities that seriously undermine global peace and security.

In addition, as Borrell noted, with its alarming change of position on the denuclearization of the DPRK, expressed by Foreign Minister Lavrov, Russia is abandoning its key obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). In particular, on preventing nuclear proliferation, and violates numerous UN Security Council resolutions adopted with the support of the Russian Federation.

Consequently, Russia jeopardizes its responsibilities as a permanent member of the Security Council and as a UN member state.

The EU representative noted that the DPRK cannot and will never have the status of a nuclear state in accordance with the NPT.

– North Korea's support for Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine demonstrates how closely Europe's security is linked to security in the Indo-Pacific region. The EU will coordinate its actions with partners on this issue, including in response, – Josep Borrell summed up.

We will add that Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russia has already transferred the first units of North Korean troops to the combat zone.

In particular, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, on October 23, the appearance of North Korean troops was recorded in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

According to GUR estimates, the number of troops transferred from North Korea is currently about 12 thousand people. Among them — 500 officers, including 3 Pyongyang generals.

At the same time, we note that Putin does not deny the presence of North Korean military in Russia, who are planned to be involved in a full-scale war against Ukraine.

A North Korean hot air balloon exploded over the residence of the President of South Korea Anastasia Kolesnikova

Against the backdrop of the involvement of the DPRK military in the war in Ukraine, tensions are growing between Seoul and Pyongyang. North Korea has resorted to another provocation against its enemy.

According to Yonhap, on October 24, another balloon with garbage launched by the DPRK landed on the territory of the presidential residence in Seoul.

Pyongyang plays on Seoul's nerves

Even in the morning, the South Korean military announced that the DPRK had launched several balloons and warned that they could fly towards the capital area of ​​Seoul.

The forecast actually came true. One of the balloons exploded in the air, scattering garbage around the Yongsan presidential complex. The trash inside the balloon did not pose a threat. It was safely collected.

It is known that among the trash there were propaganda leaflets criticizing President Yoon Suk-yul and the First Lady. The head of South Korea was mocked. It was said that Yoon Suk-yul was making “sleepy talk about the end of the regime in the face of a nuclear power.”

Reference: Thus, in mid-October, the DPRK accused Seoul of sending drones with propaganda leaflets to Pyongyang. In response, Kim Jong-un ordered the border artillery to be put on full combat alert. At the time, South Korea noted that if even one of its citizens were harmed, it would mean the end of the regime in the DPRK.

Another postcard called the first lady a modern-day “Marie Antoinette,” the French queen associated with extravagance, detailing the cost of her accessories such as necklaces and earrings.

This is the first time North Korea has sent balloons containing leaflets that directly criticize the president and his wife. It is also the second such incident after a North Korean balloon landed at the presidential complex on July 24.

Mobilization after 50 years — are there any restrictions

They reminded that according to the Law on Military duties and military service, persons liable for military service are males between the ages of 18 and 60 who may be called up for military service during mobilization.

Now watching

— Regarding the “sensation” around the news that men aged 50 to 60 will not be mobilized, we note that there is no ban on conscription of citizens of this age category.

Thus, citizens over 50 years of age, who do not have an exemption from military service due to health reasons or other legal grounds, are subject to mobilization under general conditions., — emphasized in the TCC.

It is noted that during mobilization, the main attention is paid to determining suitability for service based on health, military specialty and experience.

That is, if a man over 50 years old meets the above criteria, he can be called up to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to perform tasks related to the defense of the state.

— Consequently, the mobilization of citizens aged 50-60 is lawful and fully compliant with the norms of current legislation, — summarized the representatives of the TCC.

“The position remains unchanged”: the White House made a new statement on long-range strikes Anzhelika Baibak

The White House's position on long-range strikes remains unchanged. At the same time, negotiations on the provision of weapons continue.

This was stated by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during a speech at the National Defense University. As reported by the Voice of America, the White House did not explain why the position remains unchanged.

The White House made a new statement on long-range strikes

Sullivan stated that the US position on long-range strikes deep into Russia remains unchanged. At the same time, he added that negotiations with Ukraine are continuing.

The White House did not explain its principled and unwavering position, but Sullivan noted that the United States provides Ukraine with “a huge range of capabilities” that help protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

As a matter of common sense, if there is an artillery system that is firing at you from across the border in Kharkiv or elsewhere along the Ukrainian-Russian border, you should be able to fire back, Sullivan said.

At the same time, long-range strikes in depth remain prohibited.

“Our policy has not changed at this point, but these conversations will continue, and I believe that it is best to conduct them behind closed doors so that we can resolve this issue with our Ukrainian partners,” Biden’s adviser concluded.
