Ukraine has launched a fresh offensive in Russia’s Kursk region, with President Zelenskyy claiming heavy Russian losses. In five months, nearly 15,000 Russian troops have reportedly died, though figures remain unverified. Zelenskyy stated that a buffer zone was established, preventing Moscow from reallocating forces to critical fronts in Donetsk, Sumy, and Kharkiv. Russia’s Ministry of Defence countered, saying Ukrainian forces were destroyed near Berdin and highlighted Russian advances in eastern Ukraine, including Kurakhove's capture. Reports suggest 11,000 North Korean troops are aiding Russia, but Moscow has neither confirmed nor denied this. The conflict continues with significant territorial and military dynamics.
