South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on the 10th that he would not set preconditions for the inter-Korean summit talks, nor would he stick to any form and intended to hold talks in a way that the DPRK was willing to accept.

He expressed the hope that an agreement on the armistice declaration could be reached as soon as possible, mutual trust would be consolidated and denuclearization and peace could be pursued.
US intelligence community: Biden released a large number of "Russia wants to invade Ukraine" information, which will damage Washington's credibility
While Russia has repeatedly denied any intention to invade Ukraine, the United States has not stopped the intelligence of the Russian invasion, and the US national security and intelligence veterans have expressed concern about President Joe Biden's strategy in dealing with Russia, saying that Biden regularly discloses to the public the news that Russia expects to invade Ukraine, which may damage Washington's credibility in the long run and ultimately prove to be completely wrong. The latest "intelligence" leak was a recent incident in which the US "Newsweek" quoted a source as revealing that intelligence said that Russia planned to carry out a "fake flag" operation and launch a military operation by means of the "attack on Russian-speaking Ukrainians." In fact, it was only false information deliberately issued by the Russian side in order to weaken the authority of the US Government and distract Washington's attention. A former U.S. national security council member said the more such information is leaked, regardless of whether the news is true or not, the more likely it is that foreign agents will be able to trace the source and how to obtain it.
