South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol convened an emergency security meeting on Friday to discuss the deployment of North Korean combat troops to help Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine. As part of the conference, UNDP will present “Defining Futures,” a powerful photo exhibition by renowned British photographer Giles Duley, the United Nations Global Advocate for persons with disabilities in conflict and peacebuilding situations. However, according to Dave Morgan, CEO and founder of Simulmedia, it will not be only AI technologies that shape the near future. „We are in close contact with allies, with Ukraine, to see how we can IT conferences in Ukraine take next steps,“ Rutte told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels. The next key item was to bring „war close to home for the Kremlin,“ which would entail greater weapons deliveries from allies and broadened permission to use them inside Russian territory. Biden’s visit had been set for last week, but was delayed due to Hurricane Milton in Florida.

NATO shows no sign of accepting Ukrainian membership bid anytime soon

However, any move toward starting membership talks is unlikely before the next summit, hosted by the Netherlands and set for June. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday again called on Germany to provide his country with long-range missiles as part of his so-called „victory plan.“ Addressing reporters at a press conference in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday indirectly suggested that his country could be forced to acquire nuclear arms if not allowed to join the NATO military alliance.

What does Kyiv’s ‚victory plan‘ entail?

The easier the innovation, the more likely it is that Russia will be able to replicate it. Early in the conflict, Ukraine was first to innovate with commercial drones to enable ISR and limited strikes, but within a short period of time (sometimes only a few months) Russia adopted the same types of systems. A key observation was that, due to Russia’s ability to duplicate “easy” innovations, Ukrainian operators should carefully consider how they would counter their own systems prior to deployment. This is exemplified by Ukraine’s growing need for EW capabilities following the proliferation of commercial FPVs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who have repeatedly spoken of the „unbreakable“ ties between their nations, are scheduled to meet at the upcoming BRICS summit hosted by Russia from October 22-24. He said that by aiding Russia’s war of aggression, for instance by supplying dual-use technologies to Moscow, Beijing was putting its standing in the world at risk. Russia was uninvited to the Swiss gathering, dismissed its discussions as irrelevant and said it would attend no such meeting in the future.

It will be one of the president’s last trips abroad as leader, having decided not to run for reelection on November 5. „I cannot today now exactly sketch out what the path will be, but I am absolutely confident that in the future, Ukraine will join us,“ said NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte when pressed about the topic. A summit of European Union Leaders got underway in Brussels on Thursday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy telling reporters outside the venue he was going to push for more aid and permission to use Western weapons deeper in Russian territory.
