Let us recall that Moscow and Pyongyang signed an agreement that includes a clause on sending troops in the event of an attack on one of the parties.

🇨🇿🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump will try to end the war in Ukraine and make a deal with Putin, Czech President Petr Pavel said.
According to him, the current situation in Ukraine is increasingly in Russia’s favor.
"From the very beginning, we did not do enough... Now things are going a little better in Russia's favor than Ukraine's. And in this situation, it is difficult to motivate both sides to negotiate," the Czech president said.
He said many countries were now waiting for the new US administration, hoping that Trump would "make the changes" he promised when he said he would end the war within 24 hours.
Pavel does not think this is possible, but at the same time he believes that Trump will try to end this war and make a deal with Putin.
However, according to the Czech president, such an agreement "would hardly be in the interests of Ukraine or Europe", since it would probably include the transfer of part of the occupied territories to Russia. And also the condition for Ukraine that it will not be able to become a member of NATO for at least 20 years.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported on this scenario.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump intends to resume trade war with China
According to the Financial Times, the Republican wants to appoint Robert Lighthizer, who already held the post during his first presidential term, as his representative in trade negotiations.
Lighthizer was the driving force behind the tariffs on Chinese goods , and the story says he forced Beijing to sign an agreement to increase its purchases of American goods and services by $200 billion over two years.
The return of the "chief protectionist" to an important position could cause concern in China, the publication claims.

🇺🇸🇪🇺Trump did not make any commitments regarding Ukraine in conversations with EU leaders, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The publication writes that European leaders have “quietly” begun talks on how to help Ukraine repel a Russian invasion without Washington’s support, while simultaneously trying to persuade President-elect Donald Trump not to cut aid to Kyiv.
At a dinner late Thursday in the Hungarian capital, European Union leaders discussed the implications of Trump's victory and discussed for the first time whether European governments could fill the gap if Trump cuts aid to Ukraine, sources said.
The WSJ recalls that Trump said he wanted to quickly end the war in Ukraine, opposed U.S. military aid packages to Kyiv, and spoke positively of his relationship with Vladimir Putin. But he did not say whether Washington would cut aid to Ukraine or ask allies to foot the bulk of the bill.
At a two-hour dinner in Hungary's parliament, leaders of the Baltic and some Scandinavian countries said Europe should be prepared to increase its support for Ukraine if necessary.
Other leaders, including Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, responded cautiously. Meloni reiterated her support for Ukraine but said she would have to justify asking hard-pressed voters to increase financial aid to Kyiv if the U.S. cuts support.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, one of Trump's closest European allies, backed the president-elect's call for a ceasefire as soon as possible.
The source also said that Trump has spoken to many EU leaders since his victory. And he has been cagey about Ukraine during the calls, mostly listening and asking questions.
The WSJ notes that while European leaders were quick to congratulate Trump on his victory, there is considerable nervousness behind the scenes.
"There is despondency and despair in Brussels and Kyiv, jubilation and delight in Budapest, and determination to continue in Moscow," is how former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt described the current situation.
The publication also writes that Macron, during a telephone conversation with Donald Trump, tried to make him promise that any negotiations with Russia on Ukraine would result in “real concessions from the Kremlin.” However, according to the publication, the US president-elect did not make any promises on Ukraine during his telephone conversations with foreign leaders.

🇷🇺🇺🇦For the second day now, the enemy has been reporting the start of a Russian offensive in the Kursk region and this time has published a photo of a column of Russian Armed Forces between the village of Pogrebki and Novaya Solochina .
The column, which has penetrated several kilometers into the Ukrainian Armed Forces' control zone, includes several armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles with troops supported by a tank.
So far, nothing is known about the real depth of the breakthrough and the consolidation of Russian fighters in this area, but according to available data , we can already talk about the loss of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at least two settlements that were previously declared their zone of control.

🇷🇺Russia is considering a plan to merge three of its largest oil companies into one mega-producer, The Wall Street Journal reports, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
One scenario under discussion would see state giant Rosneft absorb Gazprom Neft, a subsidiary of Gazprom, and Russia's largest non-state oil company, Lukoil.
The resulting company will become the world's second-largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia's Aramco.
"A combined company producing nearly three times as much as Exxon Mobil, the largest U.S. producer, could allow Russia to squeeze higher prices from customers like India and China. The giant exporter could better withstand Western sanctions that have hampered exports, hampered major new oil and gas projects and held back payments, the people said. Supporters of the plan say the combined company would make significantly more money. One reason: Oil from all three companies could be sold through Lukoil's massive Dubai-based trading unit, Litasco," the newspaper wrote.
Among the obstacles to the creation of the company are opposition from some of the managers of Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as the problem of raising funds to pay Lukoil shareholders, the largest of whom is Vagit Alekperov. After the invasion began, he officially stepped down from direct management of the company.

Politico also reported in October that Iran was allegedly “actively planning” an assassination attempt on Trump over the killing of General Soleimani, which took place in 2020 on Trump’s orders.

🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️The Biden administration has allegedly lifted the ban on the presence of American contractors in Ukraine for the repair and maintenance of military equipment, CNN writes, citing its sources.
The lifting of the ban allows the Pentagon to award contracts to American companies to work in Ukraine. According to the publication, the contractor company "will be responsible for the safety of its employees and will be required to include risk mitigation plans in its bids."
Previously, due to Ukraine's inability to carry out repairs on its own, some American-made weapons were sent directly to the United States, such as the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system and the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system.
It is noted that many American companies are already working in Ukraine under contracts with the Ukrainian government, so lifting the ban will not lead to a significant increase in the number of employees of American companies working in Ukraine.
