North Korean soldiers join Russian push in Ukraine as key cities face pressure

Ukrainian military faces tough-times as Russian units advance towards key points in the east. Oleksandr Syrskyi the top commander reports that his troops are dealing with bigger enemy numbers in main battle-zones

In a Facebook post about his talk with General Christopher Cavoli from U.S European Command‚ Syrskyi pointed out that things are getting more complex: Russian forces target Pokrovsk and Kurakhove (both important supply-points in the region)

The fighting near Kurakhove shows no signs of cooling down — about 40 clashes happened in nearby villages last week. Russian units (using their bigger numbers) try to go around the city; military experts say its a classic move to cut-off defenders from help

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asks European partners for more air-shields‚ as Russians keep hitting non-military targets. He also notes that his military leaders work hard to keep both cities safe

North Korea joins the mix with its troops getting ready for combat next to Russian forces. After signing a deal with Moscow this summer about 11‚000 soldiers came to south Russia (specifically the Kursk area). Rustem Umerov defense chief confirms these troops already saw some action

The U.S still gives most help to Ukraine but with recent changes in politics some wonder about future support. Donald Trumpʼs win made Ukrainian leaders reach out quick — Zelenskiy had what he calls a nice phone-chat with him and plans to keep talking
