Indeed. The Thai-Canada DTA is such a DTA where Thailand is not to tax the pension, making it exempt (for tax calculation) per Royal Decree-18, and thus non-assessable in Thailand. In that DTA it states (where I added the word 'Canada' and 'Thailand'):
In the case of Canada, it makes it pretty clear ONLY Canada can tax Canadian sourced pensions or similar remunerations, and hence NOT Thailand.
And from experience I can confirm Canada does tax Canadian sourced 'pensions and similar remunerations' where the Canadian tax rate is not small. Likely it would be better for the person with the Canadian pension if it was only Thailand (and not Canada) taxing such pensions.
In February 2022, as Russian troops stormed across the border, Ukrainians united under symbols that had previously divided them. The slogan Slava Ukraini! (Glory to Ukraine), once associated with Stepan Bandera’s nationalist movement, was taken up from Lviv to Ukraine’s south-eastern regions, where Bandera had long been viewed with scepticism.
In 2025, Ukraine’s nationalist fervor has waned, but this could be a temporary lull before another eruption of unrest. When nationalism is driven by vengeance and compounded by trauma, it often mutates into extremism. Ukraine may not escape this trend.
Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly factoring this into any peace deal. What he failed to achieve through his ‘special military operation’, he may attempt through destabilisation from within. A large group of unemployed, armed young men suffering from PTSD could be ripe for manipulation.
