The EU responded to whether the DPRK sent its troops to Ukraine/Collage 24 Channel

The European Union has no evidence of the presence of troops from North Korea on the territory of Ukraine. However, the EU continues to monitor developments.

A senior EU diplomat stated this on condition of anonymity, reports 24 Channel. It is worth noting that earlier journalists from The Guardian claimed that North Korean army servicemen could have participated in the war against Ukraine on the side of Russia.

Did the DPRK send its troops to Ukraine

The interlocutor confirmed that the DPRK transferred one million artillery shells and other types of various weapons to Russia. However, the EU has no information yet on whether North Korean soldiers are present on the battlefield.

We have no evidence of the presence of North Korean troops on the ground. We have seen some information in the media. We have no intelligence that would allow us to believe that this is the case, the diplomat said.

He noted that after the assistance provided by the DPRK, assistance with the deployment of North Korean soldiers would be a “reasonable step.” Now the European Union will continue to monitor developments.

В The EU also added that they have no evidence of the transfer of military weapons from China to Russia.

By the way, Kim Jong-un previously announced the acceleration of the transformation of the DPRK. The North Korean leader wants to turn his country into a “military superpower with nuclear weapons”.

In Ukraine, liability is provided for conscripts, reservists, and reservists violating the rules of military registration. In some cases, representatives of the National Police can carry out administrative detention, deliver to the TCC and SP.

Lawyer, managing partner of the law firm Winner Igor Yaskoexplained to ICTV Fakty in what cases administrative detention is carried out, who is authorized to do this, when a person can be taken to the TCC and SP, and who will be held liable if he is detained longer than the time allotted by law.

Violation of military registration rules

The National Police of Ukraine has been granted the right to carry out administrative detention of military personnel in the event of a violation of the legislation on mobilization training and mobilization, to deliver them to the TCC and SP (Articles 259 and 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine, Part 3 of Article 38 of the Law of Ukraine On Military Duty and Military Service).

The TCC and SP can contact the National Police regarding the delivery to them of persons who have committed administrative offenses under Articles 210, 210-1 Administrative Offenses Code of Ukraine (paragraph 36, clause 9 of the Regulation on territorial recruitment and social support centers). Among them:

• violation of military registration rules;
• failure to appear when summoned to the military commissariat without good reason;
• untimely submission of information about a change in one's place of residence, education, work, position;
• violation of the procedure for undergoing training camps.

After which, in accordance with Article 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine, employees of the National Police have the right to carry out administrative detention.

When a citizen can be detained

The lawyer listed the cases when a citizen can be detained:

• in the event of refusal to receive a summons a police officer who is part of the notification group carries out an administrative detention, delivery of a citizen to the TCC and SP on the basis of Articles 261 and 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine;
• in the case of refusal to proceed to the TCC and SPa police officer who is part of the notification group carries out administrative detention and delivery of a citizen to such a center on the basis of Articles 261 and 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine during the verification of military registration documents, if it is established that a citizen violates the rules of military registration, defined by the Order of December 30, 2022 No. 1487 or the Law of Ukraine On mobilization training and mobilization, discrepancies are found between the military registration document and the data in the Unified State Register.

In this case, the senior of the notification group suggests proceeding to the TCC and SP for military registration, undergoing a medical examination to determine suitability for military service, clarifying personal data, a military registration document with the data of the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons liable for military service and reservists, Igor explained Yasko.

— That is, the basis for the detention and delivery of the offender is an appeal to the National Police bodies for the delivery of citizens who have committed offenses provided for in Articles 210, 210-1 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. If there is a mark “search”, police officers detain and deliver the offender to the TCC and SP, — the lawyer noted.

Delivery of the offender to the TCC and SP occurs on the basis of Article 259 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. Such detention is possible only for the purpose of drawing up a report on the commission of an administrative offence and if it is impossible to draw it up at the place where the offence was committed.

According to him, delivery can take place to the TCC and SP where the conscript is registered, or to any other district TCC and SP.

When detention and delivery to the TCC is illegal

— If the conscript has not committed any offenses, then the detention and delivery are illegal. If the district TCC and SP has no evidence of violation of the norms of mobilization legislation, then there are no grounds for drawing up a protocol. Therefore, it can be appealed, — he believes.

During detention, the conscript has the right to know the reasons for detention and the place of destination. Citizens also have the right to involve lawyers in drawing up the report and issuing the ruling, Igor Yasko noted.

— Administrative detention of a person who has committed an administrative offense, may last no more than three hours. Anything else is unlawful. If the police violated the requirements of the Law of Ukraine On the National Police, the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and the rights of the detainee, the prosecutor's office holds the police officers liable, — noted the lawyer.

It is important to note that Article 258 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine was supplemented by a provision that a protocol under Articles 210 and 210-1 is not drawn up if the violation was committed during a special period, or the person did not appear at the TCC without good reason, or did not provide a reason for not arriving in response to a summons.

But the conscript must be duly notified of the date, time, and place of the summons. That is, if a person has not updated their data, has not reported a change in personal data, or has not appeared in response to a summons, then the TCC issues a decision on a fine without a protocol, the lawyer explained.

Kadyrov is facing a “Prigozhin scenario”, but a deeper one – former intelligence chief Alexandra Sadovaya

Self-proclaimed leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov publicly declared the so-called “blood feud” against several Russian politicians at once. Therefore, he may be waiting for a script by Yevgeny Prigozhin.

This opinion was voiced by General of the Army, former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Nikolai Malomuzh on Channel 24. According to him, Kadyrov will convince Putin of his loyalty.

“The scenario is roughly the same as with Prigozhin, but more profound. There will be an invitation, negotiations, fraternization, even close assurances of loyalty to Putin from Kadyrov. But there will be his own program of action,” he said.

Various scenarios are possible

Nikolay Malomuzh suggested that Putin will control Kadyrov not only through the special services and troops. The Chechen terrorist's entourage has long been infiltrated.

Kadyrov criticized the Russian authorities for tightening their immigration policy. In this way, he wants to demonstrate his alleged defense. In general, the terrorist likes to support various movements, national minorities. This is a systemic game that Putin knows about.

There will be a moment like with Prigozhin. Today they are friends, even after the putsch they agreed on everything, but tomorrow the situation may be completely different. Because Kadyrov is not the only one and not the only system that has the ability to carry out terrorist attacks. Russia's special services have specialized in this for many years. The scenarios may be different, – the army general emphasized.

Recall that during his meeting with security forces, Kadyrov declared “blood feud” against the senator from Dagestan, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, who is close to Putin, and the deputies from Ingushetia and Bashkiria. This statement was the result of a long-term business conflict between Kadyrov and Kerimov for control over the Wildberries marketplace.

The state budget for 2025 includes funds to buy half of the drones offered by Ukrainian manufacturers, so Ukraine is looking for additional sources of funding.

This was stated by Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation Alexander Bornyakov during his speech at the MITS Forum US — Ukraine Defense Tech Partnership.

Drone production in Ukraine

According to him, in 2023 the budget for drones was greater than the capabilities of manufacturers, and this year they are almost equal.

— However, in 2025, our manufacturers have accelerated so much that the money will be less than half, if not less… The need is still being formed, — he emphasized.

That is why, as Bornyakov noted, an active search for sources of financing among international partners continues.

— When we started, we said: give us some solutions, access to spare parts, technologies. Now we are saying: just give us money. We have a local market, if you finance a Ukrainian manufacturer, you will give much more benefit to Ukraine than looking for someone to make a product that is ready enough to work in our conditions today, — he explained.

And he assured that the amount of non-repayable grant funding will increase, especially for projects at the Pre-Seed stage.

— So that you understand the numbers: when we started in the first year, it was about 150 million UAH, for the next — 1.5 billion UAH, for 2025 it is planned “3 plus” billion for grant assistance, — Bornyakov said, adding that there are about 100 more funds that invest in mill-tech projects in Ukraine.

The other day, Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that Ukraine had begun providing grants for missile production.

According to him, government purchases already cover millions of shells, which, in particular, are intended for drones.

Putin is forced to do this: what the dictator's entourage Petro Sineoky is afraid of

Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine has been going on for more than 2.5 years. Putin is already forced to take steps that threaten his entourage.

Russian political strategist Abbas Gallyamov told Channel 24 about this, noting that the situation in Russia is gradually becoming more tense. Putin's entourage lives significantly worse because of the sanctions and at least some isolation of the aggressor country. They especially complain that they cannot go abroad for adequate treatment.

What Putin's entourage fears

According to Gallyamov, the “population” of Russia is increasingly demonstrating discontent because of the conditions that have developed from the full-scale war against Ukraine. Against this background, Putin is forced to transfer more and more power to the security forces. They fight the opposition and ensure the loyalty of the population to the regime.

The more power they have, the greater the risk of being raked in. They both carry out Putin's orders and line their own pockets. First they bankrupt strangers, and then they take on their own. Therefore, the risk of being caught under the steamroller of repression is quite real. This scares even people as close to the regime as the Kovalchuks, – Gallyamov said.

Putin's entourage is currently acting on the principle: if you sit quietly, you'll get away with it. However, Gallyamov believes that if Putin suddenly loosens his “grip”, it is quite possible that Putin's inner circle will begin to take action to return to their previous lives.

The Russian Levada Center recently published a new poll on whether Russians support the war. Thus, 76% of Russians support or “rather support than not” the actions of Russian troops. Which once again destroys the argument of various “oppositionists” that this is all Putin's war alone. At the same time, 54% would like and “rather, would like” to begin peace talks.

The United States does not rule out that Iran is cooperating with North Korea as part of the continued escalation in the Middle East East.

There is no direct evidence of this yet, but Washington is closely monitoring possible cooperation between Pyongyang and Tehran.

This was stated by the spokesman for the US Department of Defense, General Patrick Ryder.

— I have not yet seen anything that would indicate that cooperation between Iran and the DPRK exists. However, the United States will continue to closely monitor this, — he emphasized.

War in the Middle East — Iran's involvement

On October 1, Iran attacked Israel with ballistic missiles, carrying out the largest-scale shelling of this type of missile in history.

Some of the Iranian missiles penetrated Israel's Iron Dome, they were seen over Jerusalem and Haifa, and there were also reports of landings in the area of ​​Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv and at two Israeli Air Force air bases.

At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised retaliation against the Iranians. And Tehran at the same time warned: then the next attack will be more devastating.

White House Chief of Staff Joe Biden responded to the mutual threats of the Middle Eastern opponents and ordered the American military to help Israel shoot down Iranian missiles.
