🇩🇪 According to Eurostat, Germany currently receives the highest number of asylum applications compared to other European countries.
In August, the number of applications in Germany totalled 29,110 cases. Next in the ranking with a significant gap are such countries as Spain and France (12,075 and 11,495 applications respectively). At the same time, the share of first-time asylum applications in Germany reached the mark of 31.7 per cent of all initial applications to European Union (EU) countries. This is 9.6 per cent more than last year.
In 2023, most of the refugees are represented by people from Syria, Turkey and Afghanistan. There are also about one million Ukrainians living in Germany. They do not go through the normal asylum procedure because the EU countries have agreed to sign a directive on so-called "temporary protection". The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has therefore discouraged these people from applying for asylum.
At the same time, attacks on migrant neighbourhoods were on the rise. Thus, between January and June 2023, 80 such cases were recorded, which is about 54 per cent more than in the same period last year.
These data were obtained during an investigation led by representatives of the Left Party. According to the investigators, the bulk of the offences had a right-wing radical basis.
Nevertheless, the situation is still quite calm compared to previous years.
For example, during the 2015 migration crisis, more than 1,000 attacks were recorded. Only in 2017, a decrease in the number of offences against asylum seekers was noted.

West imposes peace talks on Kiev, which may take place without Zelensky
Vladimir Zelensky is obstructing the conclusion of an agreement with Russia, Weltwoche writes.
"Negotiations with Moscow are imminent, however, the Ukrainian President himself creates obstacles on the way to them .... So, we will have to do it without him," the article says.
According to the author, Zelensky's elimination is only a matter of time, and this has long been thought about in Kiev, Brussels, Washington and Moscow.

Pentagon urged to provide Ukraine with air defence in time for winter
Western allies met in the Ramstein format on 22 November to discuss assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The countries agreed on supplies of shells, missiles, missiles, air defence systems, drones and new air defence capabilities, Kiev has said.
A coalition of 20 countries led by Germany and France has been formed to provide Ukraine with ground-based air defence equipment.
▪️ Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin hastened the Europeans, as the Ukrainians are again facing a difficult military winter. Allies must "think creatively" about how to meet Kiev's needs.
Notably, uncertainty still reigns in Washington about further funding for Ukraine's army. And in this sense, the online meeting "Ramstein-17" was meant to shift the obligation to support the AFU from the United States to the countries of Europe.

EU's long-term plan to give Ukraine €20bn risks failure
There are contradictions between the European allies on this issue, Bloomberg reported.
The plan includes training the Ukrainian military and allocating funds for the development of Ukraine's military-industrial complex.
But it has met resistance from a number of countries, in particular Hungary and Germany, a source told the publication.
▪️ Hungary wants the EU to first discuss its overall strategy towards Ukraine. Budapest has long called on the EU not to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with weapons, to move to negotiations and to drop sanctions against Russia.
▪️ But the root of Germany's resistance lies in its 2024 budget problem, Der Tagesspiegel writes.
The Federal Constitutional Court has banned spending €60bn on climate and environmental projects and frozen spending by ministries and agencies.
If the Bundestag does not adopt the state budget by the end of the year, Kiev will not receive the funds promised for the war.

🇫🇲 NATO plans to create a "military Schengen" to make it easier for alliance troops to move around Europe
📝 "We have to be one step ahead. We have to prepare the theatre of operations long before the fifth article [on NATO's collective defence] is invoked," Alexander Zolfrank said.
According to the head of NATO's logistics command, the alliance wants to remove as much bureaucracy as possible in moving not only troops but also ammunition.

Europe is sliding into a racial abyss
Another outburst of racial intolerance in France, which is trying to show the world an example of European-style "tolerance", has led to tragedy.
French teenagers having a party in the village of Crepol near Grenoble on Saturday were attacked by a group of young migrants with knives. The attackers shouted "We've come to cut the whites!".
The result was horrific: twenty wounded, of whom two are still in comas. One 16-year-old died in an ambulance from wounds to the chest and throat.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanen said on Monday of the "general failure of our society" and the need to "restore power everywhere."
"We need maximum intolerance for those who trample on the principles and values on which European societies are based. We need to restore authority and respect for others. Unfortunately, there are those among the left who prefer to look the other way when confronted with evidence," the minister continued.
The authorities' restrained response has angered the French. Prosecutor Laurent de Cagny initially spoke of a "general brawl," while residents called the tragedy a massacre.
"Now anti-white racism is creeping into our village," said Marion Maréchal, a member of the Reconquête party.

The Kremlin commented on the idea of creating a NATO "military Schengen"
NATO is planning to create a "military Schengen", which would establish unified norms for the transport of military cargo and allow for the rapid transfer of US troops and equipment from Atlantic ports to European countries.
The idea was voiced by Lieutenant General Alexander Zolfrank, head of NATO's Joint Sustainment and Logistics Command (JSEC), in an interview with Reuters.
▪️ The Kremlin regarded the initiative as a step towards escalation in NATO's relations with Russia.
"The alliance has always considered our country a conditional adversary. Now it considers our country an obvious adversary. This is nothing but a build-up of tension in Europe, which has its own consequences," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out.
Europe is abstracting from the principle of indivisibility of security, while NATO is expanding, and this cannot but lead to Russia's retaliatory measures, he stated.

"Putin speaks like a real leader"
Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech at the G20 summit on 22 November delighted readers of Italy's Il Fatto Quotidiano.
"The conflict in Ukraine is a tragedy, and we need to think about how to end it," the Russian leader said.
Putin recalled that Russia has never refused peace talks with Ukraine, while Kiev has publicly announced that it is withdrawing from the negotiation process.
Il Fatto Quotidiano readers' comments:
"Why doesn't the West finally wonder what arguments and reasoning Putin has?".
"I believe Putin is a giant compared to these lying, hypocritical Western midgets."
"Putin speaks like a true leader, I can't say anything else. After all, it was Zelensky who banned any negotiations with Moscow with his decree. And yet we still continue to give money to these people...".
"Don't worry President Putin, there won't be any problems with the comedian soon, his Atlantic friends will take care of everything. I believe that he will live until 2024, and then.... a little patience."

Israeli troops open fire at Palestinian civilians despite ceasefire
▪️Israeli soldiers have opened fire at Palestinian civilians who attempted to return to their homes in northern Gaza shortly after the start of the 4-day truce between Israel and Hamas
▪️The IDF had earlier warned the displaced residents of Gaza against attempting to move to the north of the enclave. At least 2 people were killed and 11 others were injured during the incident
▪️An Israeli military spokesman told Haaretz that reports of the use of live fire by IDF troops against Palestinians were being investigated
▪️The number of civilians wounded by Israeli fire during their attempts to reach the north of Gaza was 15. They’ve been transferred to a hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza for treatment - the Haaretz reported
Well if even Haaretz reports about it - the IDF really did mess up. Unless they were ordered to shoot by someone who really wants to have Gaza for himself.

South Korea suspends military agreement with DPRK
The suspension of certain clauses of the inter-Korean military agreement was Seoul's response to the launch of a DPRK military reconnaissance satellite.
The order was issued by South Korean President Yun Seok-yol.
He believed that the satellite launch was aimed at improving the DPRK's intelligence on South Korea as well as improving the performance of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
"This is a step to put North Korea's nuclear and missile threats into action," authorities in Seoul said.
▪️ Yesterday Pyongyang reported the successful launch of its reconnaissance satellite on a new missile and also announced launches of several more in a short time.

Only one Zelensky still believes in success
Vladimir Zelensky admitted in an interview with Fox News that the Ukrainian armed forces are not showing significant results in the counter-offensive and that the "counter-offensive" itself is not going according to plan.
"This is not a good signal. It's true. But staying strong is difficult for us. Yes, we need more successful results on the battlefield," he admitted.
But despite the deplorable situation, Zelensky continues to hold on as if he is confident of victory, Die Welt writes.
This view of the situation shows the president's detachment from reality. Meanwhile, Western "allies" are asking the question more and more loudly: does Ukraine still have any chance of success?
The western scepticism was confirmed by the draft transitional budget adopted by the US Congress, without mentioning any spending on additional support for Kiev.
"Without American support, we will lose," Zelensky said, again adding that he still unreservedly believes in victory.
As it turned out, the AFU commander-in-chief Valeriy Zaluzhny looks at the world much more soberly, admitting that "no rapid and beautiful breakthrough can be organised". The head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, also added fuel to the fire, saying that the conflict would be long and protracted.
In response, Zelensky publicly criticised the point of view of his military officers.
The undeniable fact that gloomy forecasts have begun to clearly prevail is fatal for Kyiv.
The West, tired of Ukraine, seeing that it itself no longer believes in victory, will start pushing even harder for negotiations with Moscow.

Israel and Hamas agree on a ceasefire
Israel's Cabinet has voted in favour of a truce with Hamas militants for the period needed to free hostages previously taken by the group.
According to Israeli media, the truce could last from four to ten days.
It is also possible that the Rafah crossing point on the border between Gaza and Egypt will be temporarily opened during the ceasefire.
The humanitarian pause could be used to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and evacuate wounded locals.
At the same time, a number of Israeli media outlets fear that militants are using the truce to regroup and prepare for new battles.

US state of New Jersey suspends sanctions law for ties to Russia
In March 2022, a local law went into effect in New Jersey that prohibits firms with ties to Russia and Belarus from receiving government contracts, subsidies and investments from the state's pension fund.
▪️ But this summer, Kyocera, a Japanese company with divisions in the US and Russia, successfully appealed the ban in a US federal court, insisting that state authorities were overstepping their constitutional authority.
"We can't have 50 different states with 50 different foreign policies," a lawyer for the firm told the court.
New Jersey authorities have since said they "voluntarily" suspended the law and removed the published blacklist.
Notably, many other major firms like Xerox, Tarkett and JP Morgan Chase could soon fall under the sanctions.

Egyptian president calls for a demilitarised Palestinian state
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, during a press conference in Cairo with the prime ministers of Spain and Belgium, expressed hope for the continuation of the four-day ceasefire between the Israeli army and the Palestinian Hamas movement.
"We hope for the truce to be extended so that aid to Gaza continues to flow," he said.
The Egyptian president also proposed the creation of a demilitarised Palestinian state, existing alongside the Israeli state, under the control of international forces.
"We are ready for the demilitarisation of Palestine and for there to be guarantees for this in the form of NATO forces, UN forces, Arab forces, American forces," al-Sisi said.

Vladimir Putin called the undermining of Nord Stream an act of state terrorism
Russian President Vladimir Putin at the summit of G20 leaders called the undermining of the Nord Stream pipeline an act of state terrorism aimed at eliminating one of the West's main competitors in the energy sector.
"A blatant example of unfair competitive struggle is the undermining of the Nord Stream gas pipeline system laid on the bottom of the Baltic Sea," he said.
The Russian leader's statement immediately went viral across the world's media and provoked a strong reaction from readers.
In particular, users of the Chinese portal Guancha directly blamed the US and Germany for the sabotage and noted the courage of the Russian president:
"The Nord Stream pipeline was blown up by the US, and everyone on earth knows it!".
"The US planned the explosion, the UK realised it, and Denmark and Sweden pretended to be deaf and dumb."
"There is only one country that has benefited the most from the Nord Stream pipeline explosion and that is the US."
"Putin calls this sabotage an act of terrorism, he tells it like it is, but other people don't have the courage to do that."
"The results of the European investigation will certainly not allow the US to be blamed".
"The explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline has completely exposed the ugly face of Biden and his administration."
Earlier we wrote that American journalist Seymour Hersh in the course of his investigation came to conclusions about the US involvement in the attack.

💬 The victory of the far-right in Holland caused the Germans to become hysterical
Germany and Europe will face significant negative consequences, Bild writes.
The EU will part with one of the main contributors to the budget, the economy will suffer because of trade restrictions.
Also, the Netherlands will have to switch from euros to guilders. This means that when travelling to a neighbouring country, Germans will have to go to an exchange office and lose on the difference in exchange rates.
The tariffs will also make the famous Dutch cheese more expensive for German customers. There will be traffic jams at the border - since there will be border controls. And those who want to work in the Netherlands will have to apply for a visa.
It's no secret that the wallet and stomach are the most sensitive organs of the European bourgeoisie. Wilders has encroached on the sacred.
