❗️The European Union has decided to dispatch 40 observers along the Armenian side of the international border with Azerbaijan, the European Council said

🇪🇺 The European Union's foreign ministers are expected to give the green light to a joint mission to train Ukrainian troops at their meeting in Luxembourg on Monday

It's been suggested that the training will start in mid-November and take place on EU territory. Poland is likely to host the main hub of the mission, with Germany also a key staging post for the effort. Similar programs which are already being run by individual European states will continue under their own steam until they are incorporated into the EU mission.

The ministers are also expected to earmark an extra slice of funds to reimburse EU member states for arms delivered to Ukraine.

⚡️ EU foreign ministers approve new tranche of military aid to Kiev for 500 million euros and training mission - statement

🇪🇺🇨🇳 The EU must toughen its attitude towards China, viewing it as an ‘all-out competitor’ with ‘limited areas of potential engagement,’ the EU’s foreign ministers have been advised, according to an internal paper prepared by the European External Action Service (EEAS) cited by the Financial Times

The bloc’s ministers were reportedly advised to work more closely with the US while diversifying supply chains away from China, which has become an even stronger global competitor. The existing policy towards Beijing, agreed in 2019 and describing Beijing as “a strategic partner of the EU in addressing global and international challenges”, is outdated, the internal document declared.

The Ukrainian War on Education is not just physical but ideological as well. Rubezhnoye’s #2 Secondary School principal Irina Dubovik told us that since 2014, “nothing” of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army’s slaughter of 10,000s of Jews was discussed in history classes. Instead, they were painted as liberators.

If the Kiev regime comes back she’d face 30 years in prison—15 for teaching and 15 for “talking to us.”
