According to Zelensky, the over ten thousand North Korean soldiers deployed in Russia have reportedly suffered over four thousand casualties. Attacks continue in the Ukraine war despite Putin's statement on Tuesday that he was willing to negotiate peace,

Putin's losses up to 834,000 as Moscow claims capture of town in Donetsk - Russia lost 1,670 troops in just the past 24 hours, Kyiv says

Recent reports from the “occupied” Kursk Oblast in Russia suggest that the Kremlin’s forces are being bogged down by defenses that Moscow originally erected against threats from the west.
