National Police employs 75,000 men of mobilization age, 15,000 of whom are already performing combat missions

The National Police of Ukraine currently employs about 70-75 thousand male police officers of mobilization age (25-60 years old). 15 thousand of them are already performing combat missions.

This was announced by the Deputy Head of the National Police Oleksandr Fatsevych, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.

"We, the National Police, have about 70-75 thousand male police officers who may be subject to mobilization by age (25-60 years), of whom more than 15 thousand are already performing combat missions. And all our police officers are certified, wearing shoulder straps, and are booked. But they also perform combat missions," said the deputy head of the National Police.

Fatsevych noted that the National Police has already created new staff units that are directly involved in repelling Russian armed aggression - these are more than 15,000 police officers who perform various combat missions, including covering the state border in the north.

"We have created special units to support the State Border Guard Service and the Defense Forces, the Armed Forces. We are also currently performing tasks directly on one of the most difficult frontline areas - the "Rage" brigade, together with the "Predator" brigade, together with the newly created infantry unit of our KORD. They are performing tasks in the Toretsk direction," Fatsevych said.

According to him, in addition, rifle battalions have been created in each of the Main Directorates of the National Police in the regions. Some of them have already completed training and coordination of various specialists with each other. "Some of them have been sent to the areas of combat missions. And some are completing the coordination," the police representative explained.

Answering a question, the deputy head of the NPU expressed the opinion that everyone who can carry a weapon and wears a uniform should defend the state.

"But there are other tasks and functions. Among these other issues is the issue of safety on the streets. People want this too. We want everyone to call 102 so that a police unit can arrive, so that if an offense is committed, it can be solved," Fatsevych said.

He informed that, in addition, the police have already been given additional functions during martial law, including control over curfew compliance, protection of critical infrastructure, demining, service at checkpoints, evacuation of citizens from settlements, etc.

"And this is a very large number of police officers. And war crimes committed by the Russian Federation are primarily documented by our investigators and our criminal police units. We also have to do the general work of police officers," said the deputy head of the NPU. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3518521

Ukraine begins shelling North Korean troops inside Russia, Kyiv official says

Ukraine has begun firing on North Korean troops inside Russia for the first time since they were deployed in the conflict, a Kyiv official said.

They added that Pyongyang's units were struck in the Kursk region of Russia following a deployment that was criticised by the US and Ukraine's other Western allies.

US, South Korean and Ukrainian intelligence assessments say up to 12,000 North Korean combat troops are being sent by Pyongyang to the war under a pact with Moscow.

Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the counter-disinformation branch of Ukraine's Security Council, wrote on Telegram: "The first North Korean troops have already been shelled, in the Kursk region."

He provided no further details.

Western governments had expected that the North Korean soldiers would be sent to Kursk border region in Russia, where a three-month-old incursion by the Ukrainian army is the first occupation of Russian territory since the Second World War and has embarrassed the Kremlin.

The North Korean troops, whose fighting quality and battle experience is unknown, are adding to Ukraine's worsening situation on the battlefield.

Ukrainian defences, especially in the eastern Donetsk region, are buckling under the strain of Russia's nearly 1,000-day-long war

Russian advances have recently accelerated, with battlefield gains of up to 9kms (5.5miles) in some parts of Donetsk, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter.

It said Russia has superior troop numbers, and despite heavy casualties the Kremlin's recruitment drive is providing enough new troops to keep up the pressure.

Russia has held the battlefield initiative in Ukraine for the past year. Ukrainian officials have long complained that Western military support takes too long to arrive in the country.

In early October, Russian forces drove Ukrainian troops out of Vuhledar, a town perched on top of a tactically significant hill in eastern Ukraine.

It was part of a key belt of Ukrainian defences in the east. Russia's next targets are likely to be the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk and the strategically important city of Chasiv Yar.

Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson on Trump’s victory: There are risks of support decrease for Ukraine

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that there is a risk of a decrease in US support for Ukraine after Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported by SVT.

It is noted that Kristersson congratulated Trump on his victory, but noted that he could not help but notice disturbing trends, in particular the acute polarization in American society.

He also pointed out the risk of strengthening US protectionist policies after Trump's return, which would have consequences for Sweden.

In addition, according to Kristersson, there are risks for Ukraine after Trump's victory.

"Another risk is a reduction in commitments to Ukraine. It is worth noting that the United States is currently providing Ukraine with the largest military assistance. We appreciate it, we are grateful for it, and we do not take it for granted. We will do our best to emphasize our commitment to maintaining our transatlantic commitments," the Swedish Prime Minister added.

At the same time, he noted that he did not want to rush into assessments.

"We have been preparing for different scenarios, different developments for a long time, and we are well prepared for this," Kristersson said.

It should be recalled that according to the preliminary results of the US election, Trump gained 277 votes and won.

European leaders and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy was also one of the first to congratulate Trump. According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine is looking forward to "an era of strong United States of America under the decisive leadership of President Trump."

Other Ukrainian politicians also expressed their congratulations and their thoughts on Trump's election victory and expectations of such a result.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also commented on Trump's victory, saying that it would work with the new administration, but "firmly defending" its interests. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3518657

With Harris there was no certainty that it would be increased or maintained either.

[Jimbuna]

True and whoever might of won the end of aid for Ukraine was probably inevitable unless Europe can step up to the plate and up their game.

[Jimbuna]

[Dargo]

Less than 10% of US promised military aid has arrived in Ukraine (Ukraine has received only 10% of latest approved aid from US), that is how Biden helped. Trump promise to end the war is smashed by the Kremlin, they feel they can take Kyiv it's silent in the Kremlin after this election they do not want to stop. Do not think trump want that Russia takes Kyiv, so interested to see how trump will solve this in the years to come.

^ Easy, he will end the war within one day he said. Just not which century

Seriously? Maybe a proposal to Russia to keep Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk including the areas not yet conquered by Russia in exchange for a "peace" that lasts for a decade, if at all. Then Russia will be back in force for the baltic, and Poland.

May well be that things turn out completely differently of course, like Putin outright rejecting any proposal. Russia's non-reaction shows despise, the election not even mentioned in russian newspapers.

[Dargo]

Who gave the go ahead for the U.S. military aid approved by Congress earlier this year? Trump and he also said it is important for U.S. security that Ukraine does not lose this war. Yeah, he said this or that bla bla bla but this how he is Trump is a narcissist, but that is good for Ukraine he will never with his bigly ego permit Putin wins this Trump is better, greater, huge than those midgets in Russia it is MAGA not MRGA. You really think he wants to see this loss be bigger as Biden's retreat from Afghanistan?

How's about a Trump threat to give Ukraine the weapons it needs to actually win instead of the German plan to keep them slowly loosing? That might just give Putin a reason to come to the negotiating table doncha think?

Do you think there is any probability to the latter, with Trump?

" [...] instead of the German plan to keep them slowly loosing" ?
Germany gives most of help in Europe, to Ukraine:

"Boiling the frog" is also a theme in the US. They say that of the announced US help, it was around 10 percent that reached Ukraine. Why does the US not allow Germany to give Taurus missiles to Ukraine?

[Skybird]

Washington may not like Taurus being handed over, but is in no position to really "not allow it". Bubble Olaf is a little coward, thats all. From day one on he acted like a hypnotized rabbit before the cobra. All decisions he made in favour of weapon deliveries were decisions to which he had to be carried in a sedan chair, and even then only if Biden went first and left him no other choice if he didn't want to look stupid and alone.
