Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced further Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory, saying they are intended to show Russia that peace is necessary. According to Zelensky, Kyiv will continue to strike deep into Russia's rear areas.
Zelensky also claimed that Russia could receive far more troops from North Korea than previously thought, possibly up to 50,000 soldiers. He said Moscow has received additional ballistic missiles from Pyongyang and is preparing for the arrival of another contingent of North Korean troops, though he provided no evidence for these assertions.
North Korean soldiers were deployed in Russia in 2024 and 2025 to help push Ukrainian forces out of the Kursk region, according to reports. Ukraine has significantly expanded its counterattacks, primarily using drones, in recent months.
