war pressure on Ukraine
Putin's election as president is in war before a delicate phase. According to its army chief, Ukraine faces "one of the strongest Russian offensive" since the beginning of the conflict. Moscow also continues to use far-reaching drone attacks on ukrainian cities and cities and unleashes waves of drone attacks.
Selenskyj warns that Moscow has increased his attacks using Iranian Shahed drones since last autumn and that there has only been one night in the capital since September 1st without drone attack.
warfare and international support
The Ukrainian President reported from Budapest that the world leaders call his calling up to allow Kiev to use long -distance weapons. This is particularly important in view of a "new escalation wave" that includes the "army of another state in the war against Ukraine".
To meet the surprising offensive in Kursk-the first ground attack of a foreign state on Russia since World War II-Putin has strengthened its armed forces with North Korean soldiers, according to the US, South Korean and Ukrainian sources. US officials had previously warned that around 10,000 North Korean soldiers could be published in the Course region to intervene in the fight against Ukraine.
Selenskyj fears that the role of the North Korean troops could grow up if the allies fail to put more pressure on Putin. "We believe that if we do not exert reasonable weapons and political pressure on the Russian Federation, the next step could be a much more intensive inclusion of the North Korean armed forces," said the President.
