Vietnamese rules require electronic accounts across 12 sectors—including social media, securities trading, banking, e-commerce, and livestream sales—to be linked and verified with VNeID by December 31, 2026. The cited regulation does not specify penalties or restrictions for accounts that fail to comply. A state newspaper has rejected claims that digital identification amounts to comprehensive surveillance, while the Ministry of Public Security previously proposed expanding VNeID into a national digital platform and social network. President Tô Lâm said identity verification could reduce fake and harmful online information and make users accountable.

Eurostat figures show that the number of Ukrainians registered for temporary protection in Poland fell to 859,000 over the year to August 2026, a decline of nearly 15%, and is down by more than 500,000 from its September 2022 peak. In contrast, temporary-protection registrations across the EU reached a record 4.43 million, with Germany hosting the most people. Czechia has the highest number relative to population, at 36.5 Ukrainians per 1,000 residents, while Poland’s rate fell to 25.9. Broader estimates put the Ukrainian population in Poland at roughly 1.7–1.9 million, since many are not captured in the temporary-protection figures. The EU extended the protection mechanism for Ukrainians through at least March 2027.
