🇺🇦 The Kiev regime tested the patience of its Western backers on Tuesday night when President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded NATO intervene militarily against Russian forces — after two people were killed by a stray missile falling in neighbouring Poland.
▪️After several hours of anonymous briefings from Washington and Polish media reports that two Russian missiles had hit the NATO member, it was confirmed that it was fired from a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile (SAM) battery — although Kiev continues to deny this.
💬 Political analyst and commentator Adriel Kasonta, a former chairman of the International Affairs Committee at the Bow Group think-tank, called attempts to draw NATO into the conflict a "tragedy," adding that "Many actors who have been hostile over the years and over the course of the special operation in Ukraine conducted by Russia [are] trying to use this tragic incident to their advantage."
▪️The analyst stressed how the incident showed Poland needed to build up its own military capabilities, rather than pouring its equipment into the black hole. "If Polish air defence was good, it was meeting a military standard, it should see what happened. Predict what happened and provide the answers," Kasonta said.

Exciting activities for reporters and guests at the APEC media center. Right next to media desks are the exibits of local companies taking part in the APEC economic leaders week. The Bangchak Corporation, which offers battery swapping service for e-bike 🏍 motorcycle drivers invited me for a ride. Instead of waiting for batteries to ⚡️charge for 3 hours, drivers use automated charging lockers around greater Bangkok area to swap old batteries for new ones. The technology helps them to reduce their debt by 60%. I’m a motorcycle rider myself, and I was amazed how powerful and quiet these e-bikes are.
