    Stormtroopers from Ukraine's 425th Regiment 'Skela' Transferred to Other Units

    The 425th separate stormtrooper regiment 'Skela' in Ukraine's Armed Forces has started transferring soldiers to about 10 different units. The decision was made approximately a week ago, with the number of transferred soldiers not confirmed to be 2000 as previously reported by some sources. The regiment denies any dissolution or cessation of combat missions, stating they continue to fulfill their tasks. The transfer is part of a transformation process due to 'Skela' being 'artificially inflated', with units in critical directions being reinforced.

    ILO Demands Cuba Recognize Independent Trade Unionism

    The International Labour Organization (ILO) has urged the Cuban government to recognize the Independent Trade Union Association of Cuba (ASIC) and allow it to operate legally. The ILO's Committee on Freedom of Association has demanded this for over a decade, citing a systematic campaign of harassment and repression against independent trade unionists. The committee also called for the Cuban authorities to clarify the situation of several exiled trade unionists.
