A captured Ukrainian Serviceman, Vladimir Gavroshenko, avoided mobilisation several times, but employees of the Ukrainian Enlistment Office achieved their goal.
‘I was given summonses four times, I didn’t go there. They arrived, again gave me a summons, and said it was necessary to update the data. I started to pass medical examination, and they immediately recruited me. They took me into the army without three fingers, I couldn’t shoot,’ he said.
On Sunday, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attacks. Responding to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s earlier remarks urging the UN to “get the UNIFIL forces out of harm’s way” from southern Lebanon, Mikati said this “represents a new chapter in the enemy’s disregard for international legitimacy and its relevant resolutions.”
“Lebanon, while condemning Netanyahu’s position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL, reaffirms its commitment to international legitimacy, Resolution 1701, and the role of the United Nations forces in the south, and demands that the international community take a firm stand to halt Israeli aggression,” Mikati added.
Since Oct. 8, 2023, Hezbollah and the Israeli army have been exchanging fire along the Lebanon-Israel border, raising fears of a broader conflict as the war between Hamas and Israel rages in the Gaza Strip.
The leaders further called for an immediate ceasefire as well as for the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (UNSCR1701) by all parties, which is the only way to allow for Israeli and Lebanese people to return to their homes in security.
The UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was adopted in 2006, which calls for an end to hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.
Since Sept. 23, the Israeli army has been launching an unprecedented, intensive air attack on Lebanon in an escalation with Hezbollah.
Since early October, the Israeli army has been carrying out specific ground operations against Hezbollah targets near the Lebanese border, and intensifying its airstrikes and artillery shelling, especially on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the stronghold of Hezbollah.
All the officials should embody the Party’s original ideals and spirit, and they should remain faithful to their responsibility and duty as the leading personnel of the revolution in the ongoing drive to open up a golden age for strengthening the whole party and achieving national prosperity.
Filled with greater conviction and mounting morale, we are advancing more vigorously and confidently to bring earlier the victory of socialist and communist construction by carrying forward the invaluable and sacred ideals and spirit.
The intention in pioneering the cause of the Workers’ Party of Korea was a truth, and its victory is a truth as well.
The great soul of our forerunners is encouraging us.
Let us all endeavour to keep up the revolutionary upsurge in the new era by making redoubled efforts to achieve proud results with a strong sense of honour and responsibility as befitting the hard core of the great Party and the leading personnel of the revolution.
Given the critical situation where touch-and-go danger of war is ever-escalating in the area along the southern border of the DPRK, the General Staff of the KPA proclaims that it will take a substantial military step to completely separate the territory of the DPRK, where its sovereignty is exercised, from the territory of the ROK (Republic of Korea).
To this end, a project will be launched first on October 9 to completely cut off roads and railways connected to the ROK and fortify the relevant areas of our side with strong defence structures.
For our army to permanently shut off and block the southern border with the ROK, the primary hostile state and invariable principal enemy, in the current situation is a self-defensive measure for inhibiting war and defending the security of the DPRK.
Our army sent a telephone message to the U.S. forces side at 09:45 of September 9, prompted by an intention to prevent any misjudgment and accidental conflict over the fortification project to be launched in the acute southern border area.
The genuine resolution of regional conflicts requires that countries, including Palestine, “enjoy equal rights of statehood, sovereignty and security,” Rami G Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, said in an article on the website of Al Jazeera.
“The United States and Israel speak vague words along these lines, but act in ways that prevent serious peace-making and promote eternal military conflicts,” Khouri pointed out.
Khouri was echoed by Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan, who said that the U.S. administration let the Israeli government “completely disregard international law when it comes to its treatment of the Palestinians.”
“To sum up, the ligaments of American influence in the Middle East are now dissolving before our very eyes,” Cole added in an opinion piece in The Nation magazine.
The New York Times was even more direct in its assessment of Washington’s role in the Gaza conflict, stating bluntly that the U.S. impact on resolving the crisis has been “zero.” The article further criticized Biden’s Middle East policy, stating that “a year after the Oct. 7 terror attacks, Biden’s Middle East policy appears to be a practical and moral failure.”
