Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged allies to act against the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia, calling for permission to strike training camps inside Russia with Western long-range weapons.

Zelenskyy criticized the U.S., U.K., and Germany for "watching" as around 8,000 North Korean soldiers prepare to aid Russia in its offensive. Ukraine's military intelligence reported that North Korean troops are being trained at five locations in Russia’s Far East, potentially escalating tensions in the Indo-Pacific and enabling Russian support for North Korea's missile program.

Meanwhile, Russian forces launched widespread attacks on Ukraine, killing civilians in Kharkiv and Kherson and deploying over 70 Iranian-made Shahed drones, which Ukraine largely intercepted. Moscow warned any Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory would be considered a significant escalation.

America: "Can you hold until after this election? You'll have your answer then."

If there are any significant changes in direction from the election, that should take effect in February next year, right? The current admin could still sign over the whole army to Ukraine next month, even if the Russians got literally all the votes in the current US election.
