Ukraine-Russia war marks 1,000 days of conflict with intensified fighting and new military strategies
The Ukraine-Russia war has reached its 1,000th day, with intense fighting reported in Kursk province. Ukrainian forces have successfully repelled multiple Russian attacks, destroying significant numbers of armored vehicles. Russian troops are reportedly under strict orders to reclaim lost territory. U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles against targets inside Russia, which could enhance Ukraine's defensive capabilities. This decision follows the arrival of North Korean troops in support of Russian forces, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to present a new resilience strategy amid declining morale. The situation remains dire as winter approaches, with both sides facing challenges in the ongoing battle for Kursk.
