Ukraine-Russia war marks 1,000 days of conflict with intensified fighting and new military support for Russia

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. However, Russian troops are determined to reclaim lost territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to introduce a new resilience strategy amid declining morale following the recent U.S. election. The U.S. has authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia, which could enhance their defensive capabilities. The situation has escalated with the arrival of 10,000 North Korean troops to support Russian forces. This development raises concerns about the war's expansion, as North Korea has also supplied military equipment to Russia. Ukrainian troops remain committed to defending their positions despite the challenges.
