The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the activation of Russian troops in the Ukrainian Kherson region, BNR reported.
"We see the activation of the occupier in the Kherson direction. I want to thank the combat units that are defending our positions and that thwarted the Russians' attempts to advance", he said in his evening video address.
Zelensky added that more and more North Korean soldiers are dying in the fighting in the Russian Kursk region:
"It is significant that Russia is trying to make out that these North Korean soldiers are representatives of national communities that live on the territory of Russia itself. This is a complete disregard on the part of Moscow for the indigenous peoples and for the North Koreans themselves.
