The Polish government intends to suspend asylum for foreigners in order to reduce illegal migration. However, this will not apply to citizens of Ukraine.
This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a speech at the congress of his political party Civic Platform in Warsaw, Bloomberg reports.
— One of the elements of the migration strategy will be a temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum. I will seek recognition of this decision in Europe, — said Donald Tusk.
According to him, the state should have 100% control over who enters Poland. Donald Tusk believes that people who want to work, pay taxes and integrate into society should enter Poland.

The temporary suspension will only apply to illegal attempts to cross the border from Belarus, said the head of the Polish Prime Minister's office, Jan Grabiec.
This will not affect Ukrainians who are fleeing to Poland from Russia's war. Donald Tusk has said he will tighten border controls on illegal migrants at Poland's borders, despite potential disapproval from the European Union.
— We will not implement any EU proposals if we are convinced that they are detrimental to our security, the Polish Prime Minister has stressed.
Donald Tusk made the statement weeks after Germany continued border controls with its neighbors after years of a migration crisis that Poland says was caused by Russia and Belarus.
Expo Ambassador to the United States answered whether Rammstein was really postponed because Biden wants to make an important statement Melania Golembyovskaya The Ramshine meeting was supposed to take place on October 12, but it was postponed. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden previously announced that he would not attend the meeting on that date due to Hurricane Milton. However, Biden is definitely preparing important statements. Former Ambassador to the US Valery Chaly expressed this opinion to Channel 24, noting that Biden will definitely emphasize that he saved NATO from war with Russia. There are doubts about the statement about Ukraine joining NATO, but there may be another proposal. According to the former ambassador to the United States, the postponement of Rammstein does not mean there is a “double bottom”. Biden's reason for staying in the United States because of the hurricane is absolutely clear. Most Americans believe that the president should pay attention to domestic issues first. I think Biden had no choice but to stay. About postponing the meeting, and not replacing it with a lower level (at the level of defense ministers of the countries, not leaders – Channel 24) or even online – this would reduce the opportunities for negotiations before the meeting between France, Germany, Britain and the United States, – Chaly explained. The former ambassador to the United States noted that the postponement of Rammstein will not affect Ukraine in any way. However, if the meeting does not take place at all, our country will lose a lot. Please note! Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that for now the meeting has been postponed indefinitely. He noted that at the same time, the coalitions of capabilities within the group continue to work to provide Ukraine with capabilities for both its short-term and long-term defense. According to Chaly, some serious statements from the West are definitely being prepared for Rammstein, because the meeting will be held at the level of state leaders. If it were a meeting at the level of defense ministers of the countries, they would not be able to make certain announcements that only the president can voice. In addition, the statements must be made at such a level that they have a political effect. Biden's credo is to maintain allied relations with NATO. I have no doubt that he will make the key statement that he kept NATO from war with Russia, that every inch of the Alliance's land is protected. Of course, I would also like to hear about Ukraine. At the very least, it would be possible to involve our country in negotiations on joining NATO as part of the victory plan, the former ambassador to the United States noted.Was Rammstein really postponed because Biden wants to make an important statement?
North Korean soldiers are undergoing training in Russia to go to war in Ukraine. This suggests that military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow could have entered a new phase.
The Washington Post reports on this.
According to a source in Ukrainian military intelligence, several thousand North Korean infantrymen are currently undergoing training in Russia and could be sent to Ukraine by the end of this year. North Korean officers are already in the occupied territory to study the situation at the front. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not yet seen North Koreans in combat.

The Kremlin denies claims that Pyongyang is sending troops to fight in Ukraine.
Let us recall that back in the summer, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin signed a mutual defense pact. Kim promised Putin full support. After Russia's attack on Ukraine, the DPRK and Russia only strengthened their cooperation.
At first, Moscow asked Pyongyang for weapons, in particular artillery shells. And now, apparently, Pyongyang is sending soldiers.
South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun said that it is very likely that North Korean troops are helping the Russians. Seoul does not rule out that Pyongyang will send more of its military personnel to Russia.
Earlier, the Russian Telegram channel reported that more than 20 soldiers, including six North Korean officers, were killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on October 3. Sources in the Russian Defense Ministry claim that three more North Koreans were wounded at the front.
Ukraine claims that North Korea sent its troops to the front in Ukraine to monitor the use of North Korean ammunition and ballistic missiles. There are reports that some of the North Koreans have already been killed. This was written, in particular, by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Kovalenko.
It is not yet known where exactly on the front the North Korean units will fight. Perhaps Russia will use them in the border regions to free up its troops to fight in Ukraine.
South Korea believes that this is a very real scenario.
In 2022, the two Russian Federations and the DPRK discussed sending North Korean workers to the occupied territories of eastern Ukraine for construction work. According to Daily NK, a Seoul-based monitoring group with informants in North Korea, Pyongyang sent about 150 of its workers to Donbass.
North Korea is known to have been sending workers, mainly lumberjacks and builders, for a long time. to Russia to make money for the Kim Jong-un regime.
It is worth noting that in 2016, North Korean missile technicians traveled to Damascus, the capital of Syria, and also helped run chemical and missile factories in Barzeh, Adra, and Hama.
North Korea has also offered military aid, weapons, and training to strengthen bilateral relations in Africa. And during the Vietnam War, the DPRK sent pilots to help defend North Vietnam from American air attacks.
“Putin thinks about this every day”: why dictator Petro Sineoky is paranoid Dictator Vladimir Putin wants to be perceived as a “strong leader.” He has his own fears, which he clearly wants to hide. The chairwoman of the charity fund “Sided Rus'” Olga Romanova told Channel 24 about this, noting that a lot of information about Putin's fears has already been heard. Of course, it cannot be confirmed in any way. But there is reason to believe that the dictator is afraid of many things. As Romanova noted, a significant part of the world would not be against something happening to Putin. In such circumstances, it is understandable that a dictator would fear for his life. If you are paranoid, it does not mean that you are not being watched. I am sure that he knows better than we do the story of the destruction of Nasrallah from Hezbollah, when he was bombed right in his bunker. Someone could very well get to Putin. I think he thinks about it every day, – Romanova noted. In her opinion, if the Israeli special services were able to get to an extremely protected terrorist, then it is quite possible to get to Putin. It is obvious that he is afraid of such a development of events. Russia likes to talk about a huge number of “red lines” that actually mean little. The Hill suggested that dictator Putin actually has only one “red line.” This concerns NATO troops specifically.What Putin is afraid of

He is considered the founder of military chaplaincy and the patron saint of military chaplains.
Chaplaincy service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine began in 2021 (this is the year that the Law of Ukraine On Service came into force military chaplaincy).
But in fact, chaplains began to go to the front as volunteers since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Crimea, as well as the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014.
Currently, more than 300 priests and theologians from 13 religious organizations serve in the army.
Chaplains are always close to their charges at the front, in the rear or in the hospital to pray together, perform the Sacrament or simply listen to a person who needs advice from a spiritual father.

North Korean troops may appear on the front lines in Ukraine by the end of the year, says Washington Post Polina Buyanova North Korean soldiers may soon be on the front lines/Collage 24 Channel Several thousand soldiers from North Korea are currently undergoing training in Russia and may be sent to the front lines in Ukraine before the end of this year. A representative of Ukrainian military intelligence told The Washington Post journalists about this on condition of anonymity. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov allegedly rejected claims that Pyongyang was sending its troops to fight in Ukraine, calling them “deception.” The WP source said that North Korean officers are already in the occupied territories to observe Russian troops and study the battlefield. At the same time, Ukraine has not yet seen any North Korean units participating in the fighting. The military intelligence representative noted that it is not yet clear where exactly on the front the combat units that are training in Russia will be stationed. According to him, Moscow can use them in the border regions of Russia to free up Russian troops for fighting in Ukraine. This can have a significant impact. Especially if we are talking about freeing up reserves on the territory of Russia itself, the source said. It is noted that some South Korean experts also call such a scenario possible. By the way, a high-ranking EU diplomat previously stated that the European Union has no evidence of the presence of North Korean troops on the territory of Ukraine. However, the EU continues to monitor developments.North Korean soldiers may soon be at the front
