Radoslaw Sikorski commented on Zelensky's accusations that Ukraine has not received MiG aircraft. The Minister reminded that Poland provided the largest amount of aid among all countries in relation to its GDP.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski responded to Ukrainian President Zelensky's words about not transferring MiG aircraft to Ukraine. He said that Poland has already done more for Ukraine than any other country. This was written by Polsat News, reported by UNN.

On Thursday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kyiv had agreed with NATO to send planes to Poland, expecting to receive MiG aircraft from Poland in return, but that Poland found other reasons not to transfer the planes.

When asked to comment on the statement, Poland's foreign minister acknowledged that Kyiv was in a difficult situation, but also recalled the efforts made to support Ukraine after the war began.

Among the countries that help Ukraine, if we take into account military aid, financial aid, economic aid, humanitarian aid and aid to Ukrainian refugees, Poland has done more for Ukraine than any other country in terms of GDP

– he emphasized.

Sikorski explained that Poland can be proud of this and that it is a manifestation of solidarity. He recalled that across the eastern border there are “almost 300 of our tanks, a lot of heavy equipment, and airplanes.

“We are trying to help, but we are also a frontline country. We are also threatened by Russia, and not everything is possible,” Sikorsky summarized.

The chairman of the US House Intelligence Committee called for consideration of an attack on North Korean troops in Ukraine. Turner also supports Ukraine's right to attack military targets in Russia.

The United States and NATO allies should consider attacking "directly on North Korean troops" if they are on the territory of Ukraine and participate in hostilities on the side of Russia, said Congressman Mike Turner, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, according to Voice of America, UNN reports.

Russia should not "open the season" for unpunished attacks on Ukraine and invite foreign troops to do so, Turner said during a discussion organized by the Atlantic Council on October 30.

"I believe that the United States and NATO allies should seriously discuss and consider attacking North Korean troops directly, if they are in Ukraine and attacking it. North Korean troops have no place in Europe, they should not be attacking a European country. And I think it's in the interest of NATO and the interest of the United States as a NATO member that Asian, North Korean communist troops do not march into a European country and attack it," Turner said.

The congressman emphasized that the decision to attack North Korean troops does not have to be made, but, in his opinion, "a reasonable discussion on this topic should be held.

"I think they should discuss that North Korean troops should not be free from being valid military targets of the United States and NATO," Turner emphasized.

As noted, Turner recently wrote an open letter to the administrationin which he called reports of possible DPRK troop involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine an "extraordinary escalation" and demanded that the Biden-Harris administration and NATO partners "draw a red line" on the use of North Korean troops against Ukraine.

Turner, a Republican congressman from Ohio, also believes that the Ukrainian military should be able to attack legitimate military targets in Russia with weapons supplied by the United States or NATO allies, or with its own weapons without restrictions.

"The United States currently has a policy that Ukraine cannot use weapons provided by NATO and the United States to attack actual military targets in Russia. So, for example, if Russia is using a military system to attack Ukraine from Russian territory, Ukraine cannot attack that system in response with U.S. or local weapons. It is a valid military target that they should be able to respond to. Right now, the administration considers this a provocation. Actually, the first strike by Russia should have been a provocation. They should be able to defend themselves," Turner said.

I have been imprisoned for more than three years on such instructions from Moscow, on charges that have been sucked out of my finger, and I do not want President Zurabishvili, who can actually eliminate this injustice, to bear historical responsibility for this illegal conclusion. What do you think, people?" – Saakashvili wrote on his Facebook page.

American officials are concerned about Elon Musk's communication with putin because of Musk's access to classified information. Musk has a high level of security access due to SpaceX's contracts with the US government.

American officials continue to express concerns about the fact of communication between billionaire Elon Musk and russian dictator putin. UNN writes about this with reference to the Voice of America.

Details

Citing former and current U.S. officials, the publication notes that Musk, who owns electric car manufacturer Tesla, social media platform X, and space company SpaceX, has high-level security access. This is necessary to ensure the operation of SpaceX, which has numerous contracts with the US government and performs work for the Department of Defense and NASA. Some of this work is so sensitive that Musk has received high-level security clearance from the government. This is what has some officials worried that Musk's conversations with putin could put top-secret information and U.S. capabilities at risk.

At the same time, some of the former officials point out that even if Musk is involved in conversations with putin, the fact that he is having such conversations is not necessarily illegal.

There may also be no legal issues if Max voluntarily does not want to disclose details about his conversations with foreign leaders. However, concealing such conversations when officially requested could have criminal consequences.

Recall

According to The Wall Street Journal's sources, Musk's contacts with putin have been regular since 2022. During one conversation, putin allegedly asked Musk not to activate SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service in Taiwan as a favor to China, and he complied.

Musk has denied having frequent conversations with Putin. In 2022, Musk said he had spoken to the russian leader only once, but the WSJ claims that the conversations have been repeated since then.
