Representatives of Ukrainian media — press and bloggers — may be subject to criminal liability for disseminating false facts about the activities of the TCC and SP.
< p>The Ukrainian Ground Forces reported this on Facebook.
The Ukrainian military noted that during the mobilization in 2024, there have been more frequent cases of dissemination of distorted and unverified information aimed at inciting and undermining and, as a result, disrupting the mobilization of Ukrainian citizens into the ranks of the Defense Forces.
Now watching
– Any distortions and manipulative interpretations of the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine regarding mobilization measures or the dissemination of false (compromising) information aimed at undermining the security measures of the state as a whole, the provision of any value judgments without clear argumentation and reliable facts and their dissemination through various channels with intent serve only one single purpose – to undermine public confidence in state institutions and the Defense Forces as a whole, — indicated in the message.
The Ground Forces Command emphasizes: there is legislation in Ukraine, according to which competent authorities can initiate criminal proceedings against such persons to protect the lawful activities of the Defense Forces.
Thus, speculative actions in the information space, consisting of direct accusations of allegedly illegal actions of representatives of the TCC and SP, will be checked by law enforcement agencies within the limits of their powers and competence.
— At the same time, all existing violations on the part of the TCC and SP themselves do not remain without due assessment and control by the Ground Forces Command. In each case, a proper legal assessment is provided with all the sanctions provided for by the current legislation, — summed up in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Putin understands only force: why the West lives with illusions about him Victoria Grabovskaya The Ukrainian President believes that Vladimir Putin can propose his own formula for ending the war at the BRICS forum. However, the Russian authorities are demonstrating that they are not ready for negotiations unless they are held on their ultimatum conditions. Political scientist Oleg Lesnoy told Channel 24 what acceptable option for ending the war would suit Vladimir Putin. Earlier, the head of the Kremlin said that Russia is “ready to end the war,” but “on the basis of the Istanbul agreements.” Otherwise, it will continue to fight. Putin can offer, according to Lesnoy, the so-called Russian compromise. This is when the opposite side agrees to the Kremlin's ultimatum. Ukraine is trying to respond to the Russians' plan with its own, urging our partners to provide us with the necessary force. Putin understands only force. The Leningrad back alley taught him only this, gave him a “ticket to life.” And this is the only way he understands, he emphasized. Therefore, this decision is obvious, but for its adoption we need the political will of our partners, who must transfer the necessary means of struggle to Ukraine. And then, according to the political scientist, we will have to force Russia to peace together. However, the Western allies are hiding behind their own illusions. Each of them has their own, like, now is not our time, we still have a long way to go – there are still several countries or an ocean between Russia and us, – he noted. However, as Lesnoy emphasized, we have been through all this. The Second World War developed almost the same way. Then there were also illusions, a desire to talk, to pay with others. It is difficult to answer whether the politicians who came to power in the countries of the civilized world under the slogan “trading means not fighting” will be able to change the program. In some countries they manage to do this, in others – not, – Oleg Lesnoy noted. A zone of turbulence is now starting in the USA. Therefore, he added, it is difficult to say whether Western politicians will think like adults or will try to hide in their own “houses”. By the way, Volodymyr Zelensky believes that at the BRICS summit in Kazan, Putin can propose his own formula for ending the war. In order for his plan to be supported and agreed upon, he needs, according to the Ukrainian president, some kind of foundation. Therefore, Putin needs a “clear platform”, which is the BRICS summit.The solution is obvious
The Ukrainian Defense Forces inflicted fire damage on a Russian airfield in the Lipetsk region.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this in Telegram.
— Tonight, fire damage was inflicted on the infrastructure of the Lipetsk-2 military airfield in the Lipetsk region of the Russian Federation, — the report says.
The target of the attack was ammunition depots, fuel and lubricant storage areas, and aircraft. It is known that the airfield is home to Su-34, Su-35, and MiG-31 aircraft of the enemy's aerospace forces.

Numerous explosions were recorded there, as well as active enemy air defense operations. The results of the defeat are being clarified.
— The mission was carried out by the forces and resources of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, — the department adds.
This military airbase is located 12 km northwest of Lipetsk. This is a fairly important facility for the Kremlin troops.
Recall that tonight The Defense Forces also struck a Russian occupier's military plant in the city of Dzerzhinsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region (Russia). It is known that its workshops manufacture ammunition, artillery shells, and KABs.
North Korea could have sent thousands of troops to war against Ukraine: why there is no reaction from the world Angela Figin Recently, facts have emerged confirming the participation of North Korean troops in the war in Ukraine on the side of Russia. The presence of a contingent from the DPRK in the war could have extremely negative consequences for our country and the West. Despite this, partners, in particular the United States, have still not taken decisive action, but on the contrary, pretend that nothing is happening. Political scientist Nikolai Davidyuk told Channel 24 that Ukraine has fallen into the trap of political ignorance. The United States of America has never been known for its sharp and radical reactions. They must first find out everything thoroughly and only then proceed to action. The West is trying to hold a pause. Partners are not giving Ukraine missiles, while Russia is bringing in tens of thousands of troops from another country. What if this is not an escalation? – said Davidyuk. According to him, if North Korea enters the game, then this is the problem of all of Europe. At the same time, Europe continues to stubbornly try not to do anything, as if the problem does not exist. Important! The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, confirmed that by November, 11 thousand DPRK troops will be ready to fight in Ukraine. According to the political scientist, the United States will respond to the participation of DPRK troops in the war in Ukraine. However, now Ukrainian politicians need to talk about this more. “Shout to the whole world, give more evidence to get more help for these emotions,” Davidyuk noted. However, there is a reaction from the South Korean Foreign Ministry. Seoul can send military personnel, intelligence officers and enemy tactics experts who specialize in North Korea to Ukraine. By the way, South Korea uses NATO-standard weapons, the defense industry is thriving, and the government plans to become the fourth largest arms exporter by 2027. The political scientist assessed whether South Korea would be able to resort to such actions. “There will be no abrupt movements in the United States until a new president is elected. Therefore, I don't think that they can now fire Tomahaw missiles at Pyongyang. Everyone is still trying to ignore it and say that there is no evidence, they didn't come, and so on. But blatant facts can do their job in the media,” Davidyuk added.DPRK troops in Ukraine are a problem for all of Europe
There is only one adequate reaction
Russian microelectronics plant Silicon El in Bryansk, which produces, among other things, technologies for the Russian military machine, has stopped its work after the attack drones.
This is stated on the website of the production complex itself.
As they write on the company's website, as a result of Ukraine's successful attack on the plant's production and administrative buildings, the power supply was disrupted, damage was caused to special energy supply facilities, and technological production chains were interrupted.
Now watching
— The main task today is to quickly resume production of electronic equipment in order to unconditionally fulfill plans. However, not everything depends on us – there are difficulties with purchasing spare parts to restore technological equipment and energy infrastructure; builders are conducting an examination of the possibility of restoring the destruction, — commented on the situation by the general director of the Sremniy El plant Oleg Dantsev.
Recall that on the night of October 19, Ukrainian drones attacked the Sremniy El plant in Bryansk, after which a fire started at the production facility.
It is noteworthy that this is far from the first UAV attack on this complex. Strikes were previously carried out on it in June 2024, as well as in September 2023.
It should be noted that the large microelectronics manufacturer Sremniy El in Bryansk is one of the main production complexes of the Russian Federation, or rather, the second largest. The importance of the plant is also evidenced by the investments that the Russian government makes in production: $5.5 million annually, the Defence Express portal wrote.
The plant manufactures 90% of the needs of the Russian military machine. Including microelectronics for missile systems, for the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile systems, Iskander ballistic missiles, as well as for radars and electronic warfare, and Russian drones.
In general, the plant specializes in small electronics: transistors, diodes and other devices necessary for microcircuits in Russian military technologies.
Putin is afraid of peace, so he is looking for a way to increase aggression – Zelensky on the DPRK's participation in the war Sofia Rozhik Zelensky commented on the DPRK's participation in the war/Collage 24 Channel It recently became known that North Korean troops are fighting against Ukraine on the side of Russia. President Zelensky commented on the presence of the DPRK army in the war. Against the backdrop of this information, Ukraine needs more determination from its Western partners. Vladimir Zelensky said this in his traditional evening address on October 21. The President of Ukraine noted that the situation around the troops of the DPRK and Russia demonstrates that Putin is afraid of peace. It is obvious that Putin is afraid of peace and that is why he is looking for a way to increase aggression and now involve North Korea in the front. For the whole world, this is an obvious signal of who only wants war, Zelensky said. He also expressed gratitude to every leader and every state that increases support for Ukraine. Against the backdrop of Russia's cooperation with the DPRK, Zelensky also thanked for the support of the first Peace Summit and for the assistance in organizing the second. “More than 100 countries and international organizations were with us at the first Peace Summit. All the principles for restoring peace that we proposed are entirely based on the UN Charter, on key international documents. Then, in June, when 100 participants gathered to support peace for Ukraine and the full effectiveness of the UN Charter, it really felt like all states were equal at the table. There was a real respect for the norms of international law. This is exactly what the second Peace Summit should be like,” the president concluded.
