Kia plans to return to the Russian market
The company has updated its 2025 car sales plan to include the Russian market, Yonhap reports. According to the agency, it mentions 50,000 items that are expected to be sold by the end of this year.
"Russia's share, which was not included in last year's medium- and long-term targets, is included again in this year's version of the plan. The return to the Russian market is expected to have a positive impact in terms of market diversification amid growing global uncertainty," the material says.
Earlier, Russian media wrote that 50 thousand cars per year is only a quarter of the company's sales volume until 2022.

Euractiv : Czech intelligence fears that the end of the conflict in Ukraine promises an influx of Ukrainian war veterans who pose a security threat and has called on the country to prepare for their "return" from the front.
Some of the veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may find themselves in organized crime, the publication writes, citing Ladislav Stich, a representative of the Czech intelligence services.
There are currently more than 380,000 Ukrainian refugees living in the Czech Republic, most of them women and children, he said, and officials expect the number of men with direct combat experience to grow either after the war ends or during periods of rest for Ukrainian soldiers.
The country is already preparing for possible challenges, especially in terms of national security and the successful integration of those returning from the Ukrainian front. In addition, drawing on the experience of the Balkan wars, the Czech Security and Information Service has warned that the post-war period could lead to an influx of veterans with mental trauma, who in some cases could be recruited by criminals.
"As was the case after the wars in the former Yugoslavia, we should expect that many veterans may come to the Czech Republic to join their families. Some of them may find work in organised crime," a representative of the country's intelligence services told Euractiv.
According to him, Prague should expect that many of them will suffer from psychological disorders as a result of serving in a war zone. Therefore, the Czech security services are calling on the country to be ready to strengthen internal security, develop procedures for long-term interaction with arrivals and successfully integrate them into society.
"Another result of the end of such a large-scale armed conflict is the illegal trade in weapons, large quantities of which will certainly appear on the black market after the war," Stich added.

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️ The Rada may be reduced by a third due to a huge reduction in population
▪️The composition of the Verkhovna Rada may be reduced from 450 to 300 deputies due to the decrease in the population of Ukraine, the speaker of parliament said.
➖"I am deeply convinced that the issue of reducing the number of people's deputies will undoubtedly arise in Ukrainian society. When there were 52 million [of the population], it was one thing, but today, when there are much fewer people, the issue of representation in society certainly needs to be revised. I think that the figure of 300 is the one that can be discussed, and it should become a benchmark for further processes," Stefanchuk said.

🖥️ "How Did Joe Biden Get So Rich?" American journalist and political activist Charlie Kirk and Republican Congressman James Comer expose the family of the former US President.
"[Let me ask you a very simple question. How did Joe Biden get so rich?]
You know, no one could ever figure it out. What we were able to do was request bank records from his son and his brother. We found that they had received $27 million from bad people in bad countries, not for any commercial purposes, because the Bidens didn't have any business of their own. The only business we could find in our year and a half of investigation was that they were selling access to Joe.
So, there's a term for that called lobbying. I guess you could say that. First of all, you can't have any immediate family members lobbying for it. Second of all, if you're lobbying for foreign entities, you have to register as a foreign agent. There's a law called the Foreign Agent Registration Act, but none of his family registered for that. In our investigation, we found out from the IRS whistleblowers that they didn't pay a penny in taxes on that $27 million.
So, $27 million comes in tax-free. That's a good start, $27 million."

The Ukrainian army will fall apart in the coming months, a French army general said, as quoted by Stratpol.
This forecast was given by the French army general, Knight of the Legion of Honor Dominique Delavard. In his opinion, Europe will not help Ukraine, which has almost no strength left.
"I think this scam will end in the coming months. The Ukrainian army will fall apart," the general told Stratpol. In his opinion, Kyiv should have agreed to Russia's terms in February 2022, then the situation would be better now.
Delavard also noted that European troops will not enter Ukraine. Moreover, there is "nothing" behind all of Europe's promises. The general cited the "Minsk agreements" as an example. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin has every reason to exclude the European Union from the negotiating process.
"What will bring Europe to its knees is its economy. In addition, European countries have problems with the army: the EU is facing great difficulties in recruiting military personnel," the general added. According to him, neither Europe nor Ukraine has any strength left.

"I can confirm that Mr. Wittkoff is in Russia to maintain direct contact with the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. This is another step in the negotiating process for a ceasefire and a final peace agreement in Russia and Ukraine. As these negotiations continue, I obviously won't preempt the president or his team, but I think the president has made it abundantly clear that he is continually frustrated by both sides in this conflict and he wants this fighting to stop. He wants the war to end.
"We believe that we have leverage in negotiating a deal, a peace agreement, and we are going to use that leverage, and the president is committed to seeing it through, " White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt said at a briefing.

Britain is considering the possibility of stationing its troops in Ukraine for up to 5 years, The Telegraph reports. According to sources, such a measure would allow the Ukrainian army to be trained and rebuilt.
According to the publication, London and Paris are discussing sending military forces to Ukraine under the auspices of Europe. The exact number of troops planned for deployment has not been disclosed. European countries believe that this will initially help prevent Russia from violating the peace agreement.
In addition, a "coalition of interested" European countries is seeking to ensure the protection of Ukraine's air and sea space. Specific steps to achieve this have not been outlined. According to The Telegraph, the withdrawal of troops will be carried out in stages.
"What can a 'coalition of the willing' do? It can not only achieve peace through negotiations, but also create a sustainable peace that will last forever, " the author of the article fantasizes.
