US Halts Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Push for Peace Talks
The United States has decided to pause military aid to Ukraine, with the White House emphasizing the need for a commitment to peace from all parties involved. "The President has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution," a White House official told CBS News, as reported by the BBC. Reports indicate that all weapons currently in transit to Ukraine will be put on hold. Bloomberg adds that US military equipment, including weapons still at depots in Poland, will also be affected by this pause. Officials suggest that this measure is temporary and will remain in place until President Trump is satisfied that Ukraine is demonstrating a commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. The Trump administration appears to be pressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept an economic agreement regarding mineral resources and to engage in peace talks with Russia, rather than providing him with the security assurances he has requested. Instead of focusing on military support, Trump’s aides have shifted discussions toward potential "economic assurances" for Ukraine. The timing of this move is significant, occurring less than 24 hours before President Trump’s scheduled address to Congress. This address presents him with an opportunity to highlight his administration’s actions and achievements, with securing a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia being a priority he has long pursued. During an interview with Fox News, Senator JD Vance stated that the possibility of renewed negotiations remains open, but only if Ukraine is serious about peace. "Of course, the door is open," Vance said, adding, "So long as Zelensky is willing to seriously talk peace. You can't come into the Oval Office or anywhere else and refuse to even discuss the details of a peace deal." According to Vance, the core issue is Zelensky’s insistence on security guarantees before engaging in peace discussions, whereas the White House maintains that such assurances should only come after a deal is reached. "When they're willing to talk peace, I think President Trump will be the first person to pick up the phone," Vance stated. As the situation unfolds, the halt in military aid marks a major shift in US policy toward the ongoing conflict, signaling a push for diplomatic resolutions over continued military assistance.

Feedback from Declaring Income for Thai Tax Year 2024 at Udonthani Tax Office
I'm unsure what the Danish rules are, but it may be possible (as for New Zealanders) for an application to be made (prior to permanently leaving your home country) for your Superannuation to be converted to the untaxed option. The untaxed payment is then brought in to Thailand, and the (lower) Thailand rate of tax then applies. Of course, this will be of no use to you if you have already retired/elected to continue to be taxed in your home country (if there is no retrospective option) - but for those that may be soon considering migrating to Thailand - this option may possibly be well worth investigating/considering.
