Stefanishina spoke about joining NATO/Ministry of Justice

Olga Stefanishina spoke about at which borders Ukraine will be invited to NATO. In particular, she explained whether they had discussed joining the Alliance without the temporarily occupied territories.

Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice Olha Stefanishyna stated on the telethon that Ukraine's accession to the North Atlantic Alliance without the temporarily occupied territories had not been discussed.

What Stefanishyna says about joining NATO

There were no such conversations. Ukraine will definitely be invited to NATO within the 1991 borders and this is not being discussed. This is not a subject of discussion, Stefanishyna said.

She also explained that Ukraine will be able to join NATO only after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war, but the situation may change during the invitation to the bloc.

“After the invitation, a protocol on accession is drawn up, which notes both the deadlines and the reforms that need to be done. These are not terrible reforms. But that will come later. Now it's an invitation. And it is not discussed at all, either by progress on the front or by territories,” the minister assured.

Earlier, the Ukrainian defense minister said that he had not heard any proposals to exchange the occupied territories for Ukraine's accession to NATO.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that the partners had never openly talked about exchanging territories for world.

The full-scale war in Ukraine began at about 05:00 on February 24, 2022, by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The invasion began with an attack on airfields, military warehouses in Kyiv, Kharkov and Dnepr, as well as on state border in the area with Russia, Belarus and occupied Crimea.

There is a “backup” option: how much human potential does the enemy army have Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

Despite numerous losses in the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has not officially announced mobilization. The main method of increasing the number of personnel in the occupation army is financial motivation.

The head of the “Rus Sidyashchaya” foundation, Olga Romanova, told Channel 24 that Putin is not happy with the partial mobilization that took place – its results and the mood in society. This is why the Kremlin dictator prefers to buy people with money.

Russian Army

Olga Romanova noted that Russia has run out of prisoners and those who were ready to die for 1-3 million rubles. The Kremlin has found an alternative – North Korean soldiers.

As long as they can be bought, Putin will do so. When his mood changes, then mobilization will be announced, but for now he has enough North Koreans, – said the head of the foundation “Rus' Behind Bars”.

She suggested that the Russian authorities are ready to increase payments to their military so that they go to fight in Ukraine. The amount of monetary motivation can reach 10 million rubles.

Unfortunately, there are still many occupiers who are ready to die on foreign soil. Romanova noted that a new concept has now appeared in Russian everyday life – “spare”. This is what those who go to fight in Ukraine say about themselves, because they know that there are other men in the family who will replace them in the event of death.

By the way, Kirill Budanov confirmed that North Korea will provide its military to Russia to participate in the war on the side of the occupiers. It is planned that 11 thousand soldiers will be trained by November 2024. The first 2,600 DPRK military will be sent to the Kursk region.

Bodies of two Ukrainians from Kherson found in the US after hurricane

According to USA Today, a search party found the body of 41-year-old Anastasia about 15 km from her home , where the family settled in a small town in North Carolina.

She was identified by a gold earring in her ear. Nothing remains of the blue house by the river where the Segen family lived.

— We saw the earring and everyone froze. It was the moment when we couldn't think of anything else, no crazy scenarios. There was proof that they didn't survive, — shared Anastasia's niece, Liza Gindinova.

The body of Anastasia's husband, 40-year-old Dmitry, was found about 1.5 km away. His identity was established by fingerprints.

The search for 13-year-old son Evgeny and his 80-year-old grandmother Tatyana, Anastasia's mother, is still ongoing. They are still missing.

Anastasia's niece, who lives in Brooklyn, kept her cell phone in her hand after the hurricane. She updated local social media groups with the names of rescued residents and called authorities.

The last time Lisa Gindinova spoke to her aunt was on the evening of September 26, when Hurricane Helen was just approaching North Carolina.

— She said the water in the river was rising. And she joked that she hoped their Titanic, meaning their house, would hold up, — recalls Lisa.

Since then, Anastasia and Dmitry's phones have not been answered.

How a family of Ukrainians from Kherson ended up in the USA

The Segen family left Kherson at the beginning of the full-scale war.

Anastasia, her husband Dmitry, 13-year-old son Evgeniy and grandmother Tatyana left Ukraine after the invasion of Russian troops.

First they left for Poland, and then for the USA. The family settled in the mountainous area of ​​western North Carolina because Segen's sister and brother-in-law lived there.

However, on September 26, Hurricane Helen began to rage in North Carolina, causing significant damage in the United States.

Later, it became known that a family of Ukrainians from Kherson went missing in the United States after the storm.

Russia's attempt to attract North Korean military for aggression against Ukraine — this is an act of desperation.

This statement was made by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a press conference in Berlin.

Why is the Russian Federation involving the DPRK in the war

On October 18, Joe Biden paid an official visit to Germany, where he met with 3 European leaders. Before leaving, the US President managed to comment on the war in Ukraine to journalists.

The American leader spoke about the Victory Plan and strikes deep into Russia with Western weapons. This was reported by the Voice of America.

Biden commented on the Victory Plan and strikes deep into Russia

Biden was asked whether he could change his position on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory – a key proposal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In foreign policy, they never say: “I will never change my mind.” There is currently no consensus on long-range weapons, the US President responded.

At the same time, the journalist asked Biden if there was a consensus among partners regarding the Victory Plan. To this, the American leader said that the allies would support Ukraine and make sure that our country would have all the necessary capabilities to repel enemy aggression.

According to Ukrainian law, women can serve in the army only with their voluntary consent. However, now women who have received medical or pharmaceutical education must register if they want to work in their specialty.

ICTV Facts interviewed a member of the Ukrainian Bar Association, lawyer at LCF Law Group Nikita Tatarinov and lawyers at the ARES law firm Vladislav Zaitsev and Evgeny Promsky about the specifics of registering women in medical and pharmaceutical specialties.

Registering women for military service

Before the Verkhovna Rada adopted a new bill on mobilization, women who are fit for military service due to their health and age and have a medical or pharmaceutical education were registered for military service at their request, noted Nikita Tatarinov, a member of the Ukrainian Bar Association and a lawyer at LCF Law Group.

Note that registration — this is not a call-up for service.

In peacetime, women can be taken into military service or reserve service only on a voluntary basis (under contract).

According to Nikita Tatarinov, even if a woman has a medical education, she is not subject to forced conscription for military service.

Registration of women in medical and pharmaceutical specialties

On May 16, 2024, the government amended the Procedure for organizing and maintaining military registration of conscripts No. 563) regarding the military registration of women in medical and pharmaceutical specialties.

Now women aged 18 to 60 who have received an education in medical specialties must register for military service if they wish to continue working.

— Indeed, earlier, according to the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution of December 30, 2022, No. 1487, it was envisaged that women who received an education in a medical or pharmaceutical specialty and were not registered for military service at the TCC, that is, did not receive a military registration document, could get a job as non-military personnel until the end of 2026 (paragraph 1, clause 51), – note the lawyers of the ARES company.

Now this rule has been excluded. Therefore, in order to be able to work in the future, women need to register for military service.

This is explained by the fact that the registration of citizens for military service (which is carried out by the heads of enterprises) is carried out only after the said citizens have been registered for military service in the relevant TCC, SBU bodies, and relevant units of intelligence agencies.

— If a person is officially employed but is not registered for military service, this is considered a violation of the rules of military registration. The head of the enterprise is responsible for this, – ARES lawyers note.

Which medical specialties are subject to military registration

List of specialties or professions after receiving which women must register for military service:

• physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical and psychological rehabilitation, public health, physical rehabilitation, industrial pharmacy, sanitation and examination;
• dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, medical diagnostic and treatment technologies;
• biomedical engineering, biotechnology and bioengineering;
• life science and medical professionals and medicine (except nurses);
• medical professionals, dentistry, research workers (dentistry), dentists, pharmacy, pharmacists;
• health and preventive care professionals, research workers;
• other medical professionals (except nursing and midwifery);
• auxiliary personnel in modern medicine, physiotherapy, pharmacy (except nurses), medical assistants, dental assistants, physical therapists and massage therapists, pharmacists, other assistants to professionals in the field of modern medicine (except nurses);
• professionals in pathology, toxicology, pharmacology, physiology and epidemiology;
• pathologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, physiologists and epidemiologists, research fellows (medical science), physicians, specialists in the field of medical and preventive care, professional nurses and midwives, professionals in the field of nursing and obstetrics;
• nurses and midwives, hygienists, ophthalmologists and opticians, nurses and midwives assisting professionals, assistants to professional midwives;
• medical equipment operators, workers servicing equipment for the production of pharmaceutical products and cosmetics, heads of departments in health care.

What should women in medical specialties who are not registered for military service do

According to lawyers, women in medical specialties must personally apply to the relevant TCC with an application for military registration.

As a result, the woman will receive a military ID or a temporary certificate of a person liable for military service with a note about her being on military registration.

Passing a VVK for women

If a person liable for military service was not registered for military service, then in order to determine her fitness for military service and, accordingly, to decide on her registration or exclusion from it, it will be necessary to undergo a military medical commission (VVK).

Mobilization of women for military service service

Women's mobilization can only be carried out on a voluntary basis with consent.

— Thus, according to part 12 of Art. 1 of the Law of Ukraine On Military Duty and Military Service, women registered for military service may be called up for military service or recruited to perform work to ensure the defense of the state in wartime on a voluntary basis, confirm ARES lawyers Vladislav Zaitsev and Evgeniy Promsky.

Deferment from conscription during mobilization

• Women and men who are supporting three or more children under the age of 18 are not subject to conscription for military service upon mobilization, except for those who have arrears in alimony payments (the total amount of arrears is more than three months);
• women and men who have a child or children under the age of 18, if the second one of the child's parents has died, been deprived of parental rights, been declared missing or declared dead;
• women and men raising a child with a disability under the age of 18;
• women raising a child with severe perinatal lesions of the nervous system, severe congenital malformations, oncological, oncohematological diseases, etc., but who has not been assigned a disability;
• women who have a dependent adult child who is a person with a disability group I or II.

Basic military service

Women who are serving in the conscription of officers, are dismissed from service due to the onset of a special period and unwillingness to continue service, if such a woman has a child (children) under the age of 18.

In peacetime, female military personnel are dismissed from service due to pregnancy; or are on maternity leave.

This should be a red line for the United States, says congresswoman on Russia's use of North Korean troops Anzhelika Baybak

Russia's use of North Korean troops against Ukraine should be a red line for the United States. The Biden administration has already been sent a corresponding letter.

This was reported by the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Turner on the H. network. He also published his letter to Biden on the network, reports 24 Channel.

DPRK troops in Ukraine should become a red line for the United States

Congressman Turner said that the North Korean troops that Russia is using in the war against Ukraine should be a red line for the United States. Therefore, he sent a corresponding letter to the Biden administration.

Why the Biden administration – Harris failed to inform Congress in time about the movement of North Korean troops to Russia? Today, I sent a letter to President Biden demanding that his administration provide answers to the Intelligence Committee's questions and that the use of North Korean troops against Ukraine become a red line for the United States and NATO, the congressman emphasized.

The letter, which Turner published online, mentions 10 thousand DPRK soldiers that Russia plans to use in the war against Ukraine. The congressman also adds that this data is confirmed by Ukrainian and South Korean intelligence services. Therefore, Turner considers these events an “extreme escalation” in the war.

Letter from a congressman to Biden/Screenshot by Mike Turner

The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation Andrey Kovalenko has already responded to the congressman's message. In the Telegram channel, he expressed his opinion regarding the red lines.

In fact, the real red line is to start considering Russia's military infrastructure a legitimate target for Western weapons, Kovalenko noted.

Earlier, footage was published online of Russia outfitting North Korean soldiers in the uniform of an invading army. It is known that this took place at the Sergeevsky training ground in the Russian Far East.
