Recent reports indicate that North Korea has sent around 10,000 troops to Russia, with many stationed in the Kursk region to support Russia's efforts in Ukraine. While they are primarily involved in artillery, UAV operations, and infantry tactics, they are expected to soon participate directly in combat. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed these developments, expressing concern over the escalation this could bring. The U.S. and its allies are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to consider North Korean troops as legitimate targets if they engage in active combat alongside Russian forces

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently stated that if former U.S. President Donald Trump were to cut U.S. funding to Ukraine, the United Kingdom might consider sending troops to support Kyiv. Johnson emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, suggesting that if U.S. assistance were reduced under a potential Trump administration, the UK and other European allies would need to fill the gap to prevent a destabilizing shift in the region. Johnson’s remarks underline ongoing concerns among European leaders about maintaining support for Ukraine amid evolving international political dynamics.

A German-made Leopard 2A4 tank, operated by Ukraine’s 33rd Mechanized Brigade, recently engaged in an ambush on a Russian armored column with artillery support. Demonstrating high maneuverability, the Ukrainian crew skillfully utilized the Leopard’s ability to quickly reposition, even while reversing, to maintain a tactical advantage. The Leopard 2A4's advanced mobility and powerful firepower have proven effective in hit-and-run tactics, allowing Ukrainian forces to strike Russian units and swiftly retreat to new positions. This engagement highlights the Leopard’s adaptability in Ukraine's defensive operations, underscoring its role in countering armored threats on the battlefield.

The Biden-Harris administration is making a concerted effort to provide extensive support to Ukraine before the potential inauguration of Donald Trump as president. In a statement, officials have indicated their intention to send "every dollar" possible in military aid to Ukraine, particularly in light of concerns that a future Trump administration might significantly reduce or halt such assistance.
Key Developments:
This push for aid comes amid ongoing military operations and heightened tensions in Ukraine, where Russian attacks continue to threaten civilian and military infrastructure. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has assured that U.S. support for Ukraine will be reinforced as the situation evolves, emphasizing the commitment to assist Ukraine in its fight against Russian forces
The Biden administration's proactive approach reflects a broader strategy to solidify international support for Ukraine and counter any shifts in U.S. foreign policy that could arise with a change in leadership.
Key Developments:
- Aid Packages: President Biden has already announced a substantial $425 million security assistance package aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defense capabilities against Russian aggression. This package includes critical military equipment such as air-defense systems, armored vehicles, and munitions
- Rushing Aid: The administration is reportedly rushing the delivery of approximately $6 billion in remaining military aid to ensure that it reaches Ukraine before Trump's inauguration in January 2025. This urgency stems from fears that Trump may prioritize negotiations with Russia over continued military support for Ukraine
- Concerns Over Future Support: Trump has expressed intentions to negotiate an end to the conflict quickly, which raises concerns about potential concessions that could undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity. His past statements suggest he may roll back military assistance unless Ukraine agrees to peace talks with Russia

Russian soldier defended a position alone for 3 weeks and ate onions.
A soldier from Dagestan, Zakarya Aliyev, recorded a video from a position in the Zaporizhia direction, which he held alone for three weeks without food, water or communication.
His only food was a bag of onions found in the positions recaptured from the enemy.
“I’m brazenly standing here, next to this cemetery. Everything around is destroyed, annihilated. I was standing in this hole, you never know what someone might throw at me.
”Ukrainian drones were circling over Zakarya the whole time, trying to knock him out, but the 28-year-old man managed to hide from them.
As a result, Russian intelligence officers found the guy with the help of a drone and organized his evacuation. Zakarya is now in the hospital.
The soldier from Dagestan did not tell his mother that he was going to the SMO. She thought that he was working as a security guard. Zakarya Aliyev's mother, Khalisat, told his story.
Once he sent her a photo in military uniform, which alarmed the woman. But Zakarya calmed her down, saying that he had been given camouflage at work for the duration of his training for security guards in shooting. Therefore, when Khalisat received a voice message from his colleague who told her about her son's death, she did not believe him. Until the very end, she was sure that Zakarya was alive.
"My relatives came to my home, neighbors. Everyone was crying, offering condolences, and I immediately said: "I do not accept them! A mother's heart feels and knows: my son is alive!" The woman learned that Zakarya was actually alive from him only recently. She received a short message from an unknown number: "Mom, I'm in the hospital. I'm fine, alive and well. No need to call yet.
" According to the mother, her son was always a secretive person and always completed his plans to the end. It was impossible to dissuade him from any decision. The fighter has two older sisters, they are very proud of their brother.
It's hard to believe this story, but here it is.
Three weeks ago, one of Russian assault groups went on a mission.
Having traveled several kilometers through minefields, under the blows of AFU drones and artillery, they managed to get close to the AFU and, as a result of a fleeting firefight, gain the upper hand over them. The AFU was destroyed, the stronghold became Russian. However, after some time, heavy fire was opened on the Russian guys, and soon they stopped communicating. Everyone considered them dead, because there was no way for them to survive under such fire.
A few days later, Russian scouts saw from a drone that when the AFU tried to retake the stronghold, the lifeless trenches suddenly came to life and began to snap back with automatic fire.
One of the Russian stormtroopers fought alone. He survived, dug himself out, got out from under the rubble and continued to fight. Dehydrated, hungry, but not broken, not surrendering to the enemy.
This is footage from a drone shows how drone operators deliver water and food to the heroic stormtrooper.
This is not Robinson Crusoe among coconuts and bananas on a desert island.
He spent about 3 weeks at a fortified position without food and water. "He ate onions" as he said.
He’s now with severe exhaustion, under medical care hospitalized in the infirmary of the medical company.
"They bombed again, they thought he was dead again"
Scout-sapper Zakarya Aliyev told RIA Novosti how he spent three weeks in the Zaporizhzhya direction single-handedly repelling attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a stronghold captured by Russian attack aircraft.
“if I will have to die, I will die like a man”

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered the rapid mass production of "suicide attack drones," emphasizing their growing importance in modern warfare. These drones, also known as loitering munitions, are designed to strike enemy targets both on land and at sea with precision. Kim's directive followed a recent test where these drones successfully hit pre-determined targets, demonstrating their tactical effectiveness.
This initiative aligns with North Korea's broader strategy to enhance its military capabilities, including the integration of artificial intelligence into drone technology. Some of these drones bear resemblance to models used by other nations, such as Israel's Harop and Russia's Lancet, sparking speculation about possible collaborations with Moscow. Notably, North Korea has received drones from Russia in the past, and the two nations recently strengthened their military ties through a strategic partnership agreement

Footage of the evacuation of a Ukrainian M1A1 SA Abrams tank, American-made, by two Russian tanks, the model of the tanks is unknown. The M1A1 Abrams tank was previously used by the 47th separate mechanized brigade "Magura" of the Ukrainian army, under what conditions it was lost is unknown, presumably the tank ran over a mine. The weight of the M1A1 SA Abrams tank is about 61 tons, plus additional Soviet dynamic protection. Apparently, the tank could not be evacuated using an ARV, so two tanks were used.
