Explaining: Deepening coeration between Ukraine and S. Korea, strengthening fight against disinformation, day of EU foundation

DEEPENING COERATION BETWEEN UKRAINE AND SOUTH KOREA

Kyiv will initiate deeper coeration with Seoul to counter the common threat posed by Russia and North Korea.

●            The military alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang has become a common challenge for Ukraine and the entire world, particularly for South Korea.

●            Kyiv assesses the response of its allies to North Korea's invvement in the war against Ukraine as insufficient and is seeking ways to strengthen international resistance to the alliance between the two dictators.

●            In the coming days, South Korea will send an analytical group to Ukraine to exchange data regarding North Korean tros.

●            Kyiv will appeal to Seoul with a request to supply weapons, including artillery shells, air defence systems, etc.

●            South Korea is one of the largest arms exporters in the world. They previously provided Ukraine exclusively with financial, medical, and humanitarian aid.

STRENGTHENING THE FIGHT AGAINST DISINFORMATION

On October 31, Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications Myka Tochytskyi met with the Permanent Representative of the United Nations Develment Programme in Ukraine, Jaco Cilliers.

●            The key areas of coeration between the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine and the UNDP include countering disinformation, enhancing media literacy among the pulation, and promoting media accessibility.

●            Ukraine is an example of the combined efforts of the state and civil society in the fight against Russian praganda and disinformation.

●            Countering disinformation will be the first step in Ukraine's Internal Action Plan, which is being develed based on the instructions of the President.

●            Russia's increased spending on praganda requires greater international coeration to counter disinformation.

DAY OF THE EU FOUNDATION

On 1 November 1993, the Maastricht Treaty came into force, introducing the name “Eurean Union” and defining the main goals and foundations of the association.

●            Ukraine's aspirations to join the EU are based on Ukraine's profound historical commonality with Eure.

●            The course towards Eurean integration enshrined in Ukraine's Constitution in 2019 reflects the will of the majority of society. Today, in a hypothetical referendum, 88% of Ukrainians would vote to join the EU.

●            Ukraine has demonstrated its commitment to Eurean integration during the Orange Revution and the Revution of Dignity and its armed resistance to Russia and the “Russian World”.

●            This year's report by the Eurean Commission showed that there are no obstacles to ening clusters of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU.

●            By resisting the aggressor, Ukraine is already standing guard over Eure's borders and has the potential to make an even more significant contribution to the security of the EU in the future.
