🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia has assembled a 50,000-strong force in the Kursk region, which includes North Korean troops.
The Washington Post newspaper writes about this, citing American and Ukrainian sources.
This group is preparing for a major offensive to clear the Kursk region of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. When it was formed, Russia did not transfer troops from eastern Ukraine, "which allowed Moscow to simultaneously press on several fronts."
Ukrainian officials say they expect an offensive involving North Korean troops in the coming days. At the moment, North Korean troops are undergoing combat training with Russian troops in the western part of the Kursk region.
The US estimates that the number of Koreans at Kursk is more than ten thousand. They wear Russian uniforms, but, according to US officials, they will fight in their own units, not joining the Russian ones. They are trained in artillery fire and infantry assault tactics.
"The training suggests that at least some North Korean troops will be involved in frontal assaults on Ukrainian defensive positions," the article says.
"Thousands of additional infantry could make a difference in Kursk. These soldiers are younger and in better physical condition than many Russian contract soldiers," says American military expert Rob Lee.
"U.S. military and intelligence officials have grown more pessimistic about Ukraine's overall prospects, noting that Russia has steadily gained ground both in Kursk and in eastern Ukraine. The setbacks, officials say, are partly the result of Ukraine's failure to address critical shortfalls in troop levels," the article says.

🇺🇸A landmark statement by Donald Trump.
He declined to include former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley (both held those positions during Trump's first term) in his future administration.
The president-elect wrote about this on his social network Truth Social.
It should be noted that both Pompeo and Haley advocated a tough line against Russia, increased military aid to Ukraine, and opposed plans to stop the war along the front lines.
The former Secretary of State, who has recently been a frequent guest at the Office of the President of Ukraine (he is also a member of the board of directors of Kyivstar), was especially active in this regard.
In July, Pompeo proposed a "Trump action plan" that would have lifted restrictions on aid to Ukraine and sharply increased sanctions against Russia.
At the same time, Trump's advisers were sending other signals - about the readiness to freeze the war along the front line and deny Kiev's entry into NATO.
And after the Republican's victory in the election, there was a rumor that Pompeo could become the US Secretary of Defense. The Wall Street Journal reported that Pompeo's proposals to increase military and financial support for Kiev are one of the scenarios that the president-elect is considering.
But Trump's current statement shows that he may have other plans for Ukraine. And they are probably closer to the options that his advisers talked about, proposing to stop the war along the front line. However, most likely, the struggle in Washington to determine US policy on the war in Ukraine will continue under Trump. And the new administration's line will be clearly defined after the inauguration at the end of January.
🇷🇺🇺🇦The slowdown in the assault by the Russian Armed Forces from the eastern side of Kurakhovo is due to the presence of numerous fortifications and engineering structures.
Many trenches have been dug with exits on different sides. They can be stormed relatively safely only if they physically cease to exist after a shell or FAB lands.
🇺🇸 Francis Fukuyama: Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself.
The blowout victory of Donald Trump and the Republican party on Tuesday night will lead to major changes in important policy areas, from immigration to Ukraine. But the significance of the election extends way beyond these specific issues, and represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism and the particular way that the understanding of a “free society” has evolved since the 1980s.
When Trump was first elected in 2016, it was easy to believe that this event was an aberration. He was running against a weak opponent who didn’t take him seriously, and in any case Trump didn’t win the popular vote. When Biden won the White House four years later, it seemed as if things had snapped back to normal after a disastrous one-term presidency.
Following Tuesday’s vote, it now seems that it was the Biden presidency that was the anomaly, and that Trump is inaugurating a new era in US politics and perhaps for the world as a whole. Americans were voting with full knowledge of who Trump was and what he represented. Not only did he win a majority of votes and is projected to take every single swing state, but the Republicans retook the Senate and look like holding on to the House of Representatives. Given their existing dominance of the Supreme Court, they are now set to hold all the major branches of government.
The rise of these distorted understandings of liberalism drove a major shift in the social basis of political power. The working class felt that leftwing political parties were no longer defending their interests, and began voting for parties of the right. Thus the Democrats lost touch with their working-class base and became a party dominated by educated urban professionals. The former chose to vote Republican. In Europe, Communist party voters in France and Italy defected to Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni.
All of these groups were unhappy with a free-trade system that eliminated their livelihoods even as it created a new class of super-rich, and were unhappy as well with progressive parties that seemingly cared more for foreigners and the environment than their own condition.
Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself. This threat is visible across any number of policy issues; a new Trump presidency will not look anything like his first term. The real question at this point is not the malignity of his intentions, but rather his ability to actually carry out what he threatens.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Elon Musk agreed that Ukraine is paying "corrupt money" to American politicians who advocate continuing the war.
"The most underrated story in Washington is how much corrupt Ukrainian money is trying to buy influence. It wasn't just Hunter Biden. Most of the warmongers are PAID," Trump-supporting American billionaire David Sachs wrote in X.
“Yes,” Musk replied and posted the message on his wall.
🇷🇺During the fighting in the Zaporizhia region, Russian serviceman Zakarya from Dagestan, after the death of his comrades, remained alone at the stronghold and held off attacks by Ukrainian forces for three weeks.
