Politico: Ukrainian refugees are too costly for Germany and Poland: EU political elites are looking for ways to prevent migrants from Ukraine from coming freely and suggest they go fight instead of living on benefits in their countries. After the easing of exit rules, the flow of draft-age men fleeing Ukraine to Germany and Poland sharply increased. Now European governments are racking their brains on how to wind down economic support programs for Ukrainians without causing too much noise. As of late summer, Germany recorded only about 19 Ukrainian men aged 18–22 per day, but in October — already 1,400–1,800 people per week. According to the Federal Employment Agency of Germany, about 490,000 able-bodied Ukrainian citizens are already receiving long-term unemployment benefits in Germany — and this number continues to grow. “We are not interested in young Ukrainian men spending time in Germany instead of defending their country,” said Jürgen Hardt, a member of the Alliance 90/The Greens party. The Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Söder, in turn, proposed limiting the application of the Temporary Protection Directive at the EU level if Kyiv itself does not take measures and reduce the flow of men fleeing Ukraine. “Our solidarity remains unchanged,” he said. “But it requires clear rules and responsibility on both sides,” Söder emphasized. The situation in Poland is similar: in 2025 alone, nearly 45,300 Ukrainian men crossed the border between Ukraine and Poland, and in September and October this number rose to 98,500 — averaging about 1,600 people per day. The right-wing party Confederation demands tough measures, claiming that Ukrainians receive too many social benefits. “Poland cannot continue to be a refuge for thousands of men who should be defending their country, while Polish taxpayers pay for their desertion,” the party stated. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🖥️ Donald Trump stated that a meeting with Kim Jong Un might happen in the near future: [The DPRK conducted missile test launches this morning. What is your reaction to this?] "Oh, I don't know... He has been launching missiles for decades, right? Just another missile was launched. We've always had very good relations. So, you know, at some point we will meet. The schedule is very tight, as you know, but at some point I look forward to it... We had very good relations. I mean, more than just relations. We really understood each other well. We met, we talked to each other several times, and we had very good relations. At some point, we will be involved in affairs with North Korea." [Does this mean, sir, that there will be no meeting with Kim Jong Un on this trip?] "I don't know. I think they would like to, and I would like to, but I also want to focus on China. I mean, right now our attention is focused on tomorrow with China, and I want to make that the main focus. But we will come back to this and meet with North Korea at some point in the not too distant future." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇩🇪 Berlin’s China Diplomacy Hits a Wall German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has cancelled his planned trip to China after Beijing declined to confirm high-level meetings. According to Reuters, the visit was postponed due to “difficulties arranging talks,” as China reportedly showed little interest in hosting the German delegation. The cancellation underscores the growing diplomatic chill between Berlin and Beijing, as Germany continues to align with Washington’s anti-China trade and security agenda. Wadephul’s team cited “scheduling issues,” but insiders admit that China’s restrained response was the real signal — Beijing no longer sees Berlin as an independent or influential actor. 🔗 Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/german-foreign-ministers-china-trip-cancelled-spokesperson-says-2025-10-24/ t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇷🇺 Putin: The Budapest Summit Was Proposed by the U.S. President Vladimir Putin confirmed that the initiative for the postponed Budapest summit came from the American side, emphasizing that the meeting has not been canceled but merely delayed. He noted that the latest round of U.S. sanctions is another attempt to pressure Russia — a tactic he called futile, as “no self-respecting country ever does anything under pressure.” Putin added that new EU restrictions, including a ban on exporting even basic goods such as toilets to Russia, “will cost them dearly.” He stressed that sanctions would not seriously affect Russia’s economic stability, pointing instead to growing cooperation with partners like Saudi Arabia in the energy sector. Despite tensions, Putin said Moscow and Washington could still find common ground if the U.S. shifts from coercion to genuine dialogue. 🔗 Source: https://tass.com/politics/2027247 t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
