Ukraine presses in Corsak; Denmark warns Russia, which can wage war in Europe Russia-Ukraine, news war

Ukraine advanced 5 kilometers (3 miles) in Russian territory during the past week, as it was reported that Russia deployed North Korea against it.

However, as Kiev’s forces advanced forward, the United States Minister of Defense told Beit Higseth the NATO meeting on Wednesday that it was “unrealistic” to expect a return to Ukraine borders before 2014 and excluded NATO membership in the war-torn nation-one of them is great. Swollen The aspirations of Ukraine post -war.

Amid tensions between NATO allies, with Many European members In a dispute with the perspective of Washington, the Danish intelligence service (DDIS) issued a report on Tuesday a warning that Russia could make a war with “or more countries of European NATO countries if NATO weakens a military or political division.”

The report said: “Since 2022, Russia has been building a major rebuilding and reform of its military forces in parallel with its war effort in Ukraine,” the report said.

During the year 2024, this effort changed its nature from reconstruction to an intense military accumulation with the aim of being able to launch an equal battle against NATO forces.

“Economic and material support from China and North Korea’s support and Iran with forces and arms systems, respectively, are increasingly contributing to the liberalization of resources to reinforcing Russia against NATO.”

Ukraine’s intense batch

On February 6, the Ukrainian forces launched a new attack with two mechanical battalions from Makhnovka, which they control.

Geolocated footage showed that it moved along the 38k-028 highway to a prominent formation towards the southeast, and the seizure of Kolmakov and Fanaseyevka settlements.

The Russian correspondents said that the Ukrainian forces have advanced somewhat along this highway on Friday, and held positions near Cherkaskaya Konopilka.

They said that the second Ukrainian attack, which was launched from Demetriokov, was successfully examined.

Other Ukraine launched Surprise the attack In Kursk on January 5.

Two sudden attacks within several months indicate that the importance that Ukraine places in the Kursk process, as well as Russia’s inability to anticipate Ukrainian procedures, according to observers.

Moscow forces have been unable to expel Ukraine from the Russian region since August 6 of last year, when Ukraine was reflected in a surprise step, and its allies did not know, as an active defense against the full invasion of Russia for Ukraine in February 2022.

On the six -month anniversary of the operation, the Special Operations Forces in Ukraine (SSO) revealed that the preparations began two months before the counter invasion.

“When Russia continued in June 2024 a louder air strike in the Sumi area, the small special forces groups entered the back of the enemy in the Kursk area.”

“The destruction of Russian air defense systems and ammunition warehouses did not leave the enemy a chance to respond quickly. She said the strike strikes on strategic objects and enemy’s logistics made it impossible to move reinforcements quickly.

SSO also said that the Special Operations Forces linked to local resistance fighters who oppose Russian President Vladimir Putin, to create an ambush and sabotage.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski said that pushing Ukraine to Corsak has transferred 60,000 from the most employees in Russia from the Ukrainian Front to defend the Russian grass.

Workforce shortage

Last December, Russia has deployed North Korea soldiers to help secure its territory, but these are The forces were said I disappeared from the battlefield in mid -January after losing up to a third of their number in the dead and wounded, according to estimates.

Zelenskyy said on Friday that they were returning after healing, and the Ukrainian unit posted a video claiming to show them in the active fighting on Saturday.

Both sides faced the lack of workforce.

Last May, Ukraine passed a law to force Ukrainian men between the ages of 25 and 27. He believed this step enough to collect a quarter of a million new soldiers, but Kiev struggled because some avoid a draft.

Ukraine was forced to spend 50,000 of these new recruits who return to the current force to power instead of building dozens of new brigades as planned. Zelinski said he would now make temptations for children from 18 to 24 years to register to fight as well.

Russia’s situation is also difficult.

Unlike Zelenskyy, Putin has not been recruited through general mobilization, and perhaps a fear of political consequences.

Zelinski said on February 4 that Russia has lost between 300,000 to 350,000 soldiers since the comprehensive invasion, with another injury from 600,000 to 700,000. These numbers are the highest provided by Ukraine, which the Ministry of Defense estimates more than 850,000 Russian and wounded people.

Olksander Serski, the Ukrainian Supreme Commander, said last month that 434,000 of these victims were incurred in 2024 alone, indicating that the war became more destructive and less sustainable to Russia.

Deepening the Russian-North Korean military cooperation

North Korea seems to help Russia in migrant work as well as soldiers.

The South Korean Intelligence Department (NIS) revealed on Sunday that North Korea entered the Russian Federation last year, 12 times the number that immigrated in 2023.

These workers were separate from 11,000 North Korea soldiers that were sent to Russia from August.

NIS said about half of the workers entered student visas.

The Washington -based Washing Center, the Washington -based research center, suggested that this was a way to bypass the United Nations Security Council resolution preventing any country from receiving North Korea workers.

North Korea is punished for the nuclear weapons program, and it is concerned that the diaspora can enhance the economy with transfers.

According to Putin, Putin has increased in his ally from North Korea for ammunition as well.

Andre Kovalinko, head of the Ukraine Center for misleading information, said last December that 60 percent of artillery munitions used by Russia now comes from North Korea factories.

The Japanese news network NHK quoted unveiled sources on Saturday, saying that Russia will participate in the development of drones with North Korea in order to increase its arsenal.

NHK said: “The sources say that the agreement to develop drones in exchange for the deployment of North Korea for soldiers.”

Russia may also help North Korea to improve the accuracy of its ballistic missiles, which they already use in Ukraine.

Two Ukrainian military sources told Reuters that all the twentieth North Korean ballistic missiles launched by Russia had launched by Russia to Ukraine since late December, showed significantly greater accuracy than those used earlier.

Reuters quoted the sources as saying: “The increase in accuracy-to 50 to 100 meters from the intended target-indicates that North Korea successfully uses the battlefield to test its missile technology,” Reuters quoted the sources as saying.

ISW indicated that North Korean missiles so far have been a domain of 1 to 3 km (0.6 to 1.9 miles).

During a visit to Russia in September 2023, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un toured Foshuchi with Putin, visited production sites for military aircraft in Komsomolsk, and saw Russian aircraft and missile systems.

“For this reason, we are visiting here,” TASS TASS news agency quoted Putin as saying in Fostuchi. “The North Korean leader has expressed strong interest in missile technology, and also seeks to develop space exploration capabilities.”

Russia has threatened to provide its other ally of weapons, Iran, with ballistic missile technology, and could provide the same technology for North Korea.

Deep Ukraine strikes

Ukraine continued its campaign to disrupt Russian weapons and power supplies in the front.

She said that her long -range aircraft struck the Albashint oil warehouse in Novominskaya, in the Russian region of Krasnodar Cray, on February 5, causing a fire.

The next day, Ukrainian drones hit the Ukrainian air base, the general staff said in Ukraine, causing an explosion and fire.

On Tuesday, employees said that drones hit the oil refinery in Saratov in Saratov, which supplies the Russian army.

The Ukrainian Center for District Information Control said that Ukrainian drones struck the Engels Base and the AFIPSky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai during the week.

Ukraine has a high priority in developing its drones to hit deeply in Russia, which is not tenth of the restrictions imposed on the uses of Western weapons.

Ivan Havereliok, Deputy Minister of Defense in Ukraine, said on Friday that Ukraine had a patented 1300 types of drone ammunition and drones since the beginning of the war, with the approval of 250 drones last year alone.

The Minister of Defense Minister Rustum Umerov said that it will increase the size of the current drones and regiments of drones, and will unify their leadership to enable them to take coordinated action. He said that this would enable Ukraine to create the killing areas from 10 to 15 km (from 6 to 9 miles) in the depth of the enemy’s lands, which led to the destruction of Russian forces before they reached the front lines.

Pay Trump on rare land

Zelinski told the Guardian on Tuesday that Europe could not provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs without the support of the United States.

Trump said on February 3 that he wanted the Ukrainian Rare Earth metals In exchange for aid to us. Zelinski told the Guardian newspaper that all allies could share it with the mineral wealth in Ukraine, at a value of 26 trillion euros ($ 28 trillion), but the United States will get a priority.

Trump spoke with Putin on the phone for the first time on Wednesday, and Zelenskyy called him to report.

“I am grateful to the president for his real interest in our common opportunities,” Zelinski said later in his evening speech. “We discussed many aspects – diplomacy, military and economic.”

Zelinski said that he will provide the American delegation to the Munich Conference on Friday with “an agreement that would enhance our security and give a new momentum to our economic relations.”
