A recent report reveals that Russian forces have been struggling in their efforts against Ukrainian troops. A commander ordered 16 lightly armed scouts to attack a dug-in Ukrainian machine gun position, resulting in only eight scouts returning. This incident highlights the challenges faced by Russian forces on the battlefield.

As North Korean reinforcements deploy to Kursk Oblast in western Russia, concerns arise about their potential role in the conflict. The US Secretary of State has indicated that up to 8,000 North Korean troops are being deployed to join the fighting. While this development could add weight to Russian attacks and provide valuable experience for Pyongyang's army, it also risks resulting in significant casualties without achieving strategic gains.
