The war between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Ukrainian forces are struggling to defend their positions in the Kursk province, while Russian troops are determined to reclaim the territory. The arrival of 10,000 North Korean troops has further complicated the conflict, dragging China deeper into the war. The US has authorized Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles against targets inside Russia, potentially changing the dynamics of the conflict. However, there are concerns that the situation could escalate further and lead to World War III.
