No Ukraine peace without Kyivs participation: Polish FM
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 31 (IANS) Russia and Ukraine war cannot be ended without Kyivs participation, Polish Foreign Minister Radosaw Sikorski said, arguing that both Ukraine and Europe retained influence over any settlement. Speaking at a press conference during the G20 meeting, Sikorski said a solution by outside factors was simply not doable. A reporter asked whether a proposed meeting involving the United States, China and Russia to seek an end to the war had been discussed. No, it wasn't. Asked about the participation of Ukraine and European partners, Sikorski pointed to Ukraines resistance and Europes role in sustaining its war effort. He said the full-scale war was in its fifth year, while Russias effort to conquer the Donbas region was in its 13th year. Sikorski argued that Europe retained influence through frozen Russian assets, financial assistance and purchases of American weapons, equipment and ammunition for Ukraine. Europe also has cards. He said repeated criticism of Europe by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested Moscow had recognised that European governments retained influence over the conflict. Asked whether Western pressure could push Ukraine towards an unfavourable peace, he said Russias offensive had come at a heavy cost in troops. Ukraine had recovered territory, he said. And we need to stay the course. Sikorski said the United States had ceased providing financial support to Ukraine and that Europeans were financing the war effort. He warned that Russia was counting on further mobilisation and winter conditions. Sustaining Ukraine through the winter was the best response, he said, adding that Europe was already doing so. On energy, Sikorski linked Russias return to the European market to a fair end to its war against Ukraine. Europe had once been Russias most lucrative energy market, he said. Most European countries had sharply reduced their purchases, imposing a cost on Moscow for pursuing the war. He said Russia was now selling energy elsewhere at a steep discount. Poland did not want to become dependent on energy from a country that invaded its neighbours, he added. Asked whether the United States had pressured Europe over sanctions, Sikorski replied: No, it didn't pressure us. He also welcomed plans for a centre in Poland to service Patriot missiles, saying Lockheed Martin had announced the project. The minister accused Russia of waging a hybrid campaign across Europe in which people had died, including in Poland. He alleged that Russian armed drones had flown over NATO territory and that a Russian cruise missile had exploded about 100 kilometres inside Poland. He also accused Russia of sending armed drones to be used against a civilian airport in Germany and 21 decoys into Polish airspace. Sikorski described these as highly provocative and dangerous acts. He said hybrid warfare involved physical attacks below the threshold of an invasion, extending beyond activity on the internet. We are not going to do what they do. He rejected responding to such attacks with assassinations or arson, and again stressed the need to sustain Ukraine. Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The EU expanded sanctions first imposed after Russias annexation of Crimea in 2014, targeting sectors including finance, energy and trade.

DOJ warned election workers in all 50 states. Now a judge has stepped in.
A federal judge on Friday ordered the Justice Department to stop threatening state and local election officials with criminal prosecution over their handling of disputes about voter qualifications. U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson also ordered the Trump administration to cease demanding that election workers remove voters from statewide rolls, refuse to issue ballots to specific voters or segregate ballots cast in the midterms based on the administration's claims that some voters are ineligible. Because the public has a paramount interest in ensuring that election officials and workers are able to carry out their work in accordance with federal law and election procedure, and the official day of the Elections is only a couple of days away, the balance of the equities and public interest weigh in Plaintiffs' favor, Thompson wrote. Thompson, a San Francisco-based Biden appointee, issued the temporary restraining order in connection with a lawsuit brought by the Service Employees International Union and other groups. Her directive also requires the DOJ to reach out to any state or local officials who received warnings about possible prosecution and inform them that demands and threats of prosecution to election officials and workers have been enjoined. The Justice Department on Thursday sent letters to election workers in all 50 states alluding to possible prosecution if they didn't preserve election records. DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the judge's broad ruling. Thompson's order effectively enforces a stern warning issued to the Trump administration by another California-based federal judge, David Carter, earlier this week. These threats must stop, Carter wrote in a ruling that threw out the Justice Department's effort to compel California to set aside any ballots cast by up to 20,000 people federal officials had identified as likely noncitizens. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday declined to set aside Carter's order. Thompson's new directive also follows an order by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, chief of the federal district court in Washington, D.C., to require the Trump administration to provide the list of those 20,000 purported noncitizens to an immigrant advocacy group. Boasberg's order was rooted, in part, on the group's claim that the Trump administration's threats were influencing the conduct of state and local elected officials.
