Latest in Ukraine

Ukraine is losing battles inside their borders. Zelenskyy could have kept all his soldiers in Ukraine, but he decided to split his army and send troops to invade Kursk oblast in Russia. It has been speculated that he did this to strengthen his position in future peace talks. Putin has sent soldiers from all over Russia to take back Kursk. He is also sending 100 Russian operatives from the “Bear Brigade” from Burkina Faso.

Russia looks set to take Pokrovsk and Chasiv Yar, two cities still partially under Ukrainian control.
