US: North Korean soldiers in Ukraine are legitimate targets
If the North Korean soldiers allegedly being trained to fight side by side with Russia in Ukraine are actually sent into combat, they are "legitimate military targets". This is what US national security adviser John Kirby says, according to AFP.
The Pentagon has confirmed on Wednesday that there is evidence that North Korea has sent 3 000 soldiers to Russia for training. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says it would be "very, very serious" if they were deployed in combat in Ukraine.
Both South Korea and Ukraine have information that Pyongyang is ready to assist the Kremlin with around 12,000 soldiers.

The election in the United States The vote
The Department of Justice is said to have alerted Musk to the lottery
The US Department of Justice has sent a letter to billionaire Elon Musk warning that his so-called election lottery may violate the law. This is stated by CNN's sources.
Every day, Musk raffles a million dollars to voters in swing states who sign a petition organized by his donor organization. Legal experts have recently been debating whether this is legal or not.
The X owner is one of Donald Trump's most influential supporters and his lottery is seen by critics as an attempt to buy votes for the Republican, which is a federal crime.

Ukraine: Putin wants to divide the world - but fails
The President of Russia has been busy on Wednesday. During the ongoing Brics meeting in Kazan, Russia, he has met a number of leaders during the day, including Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian.
Putin wants to show through the meeting that the Western world's attempt to isolate Russia after the invasion of Ukraine has failed, several media write.
- The process of forming a multipolar world order is underway, a dynamic and irreversible process, says Putin.
Earlier this week, the Russian president also met India's Narendra Modi and China's Xi Jinping.
Ukraine's foreign ministry says Putin's plan is to divide the world into two camps, but that he has failed to show a united front against Ukraine.
"The majority remains on the side of Ukraine," the ministry writes in a statement according to AFP.

Swedish law enforcement
The police fear that help from the defense can be expensive
Last year, the government called on the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Police to immediately deepen their cooperation to combat gang crime.
The authorities have now submitted a joint report to the government, and it shows, among other things, that the police are afraid of unexpectedly expensive bills if they take help from the defense, the Altinget reports.
"The police authority sometimes refrains from seeking support from the Armed Forces on purely financial grounds, despite the fact that it would be operationally favorable to combat system-threatening crime," the report states.
The authorities must now find clearer procedures for the police to receive cost estimates from the defense at an early stage.
