<p>The US State Department confirmed Tuesday that thousands of North Korean troops have begun "engaging in combat operations" alongside Russian forces in the Kursk region, near the border with Ukraine.</p>

Russia has sentenced a pediatrician to five and a half years in prison for his anti-war stance. As per reports, during a medical appointment, Dr Nadezhda Buyanova told a young boy that his father was killed while fighting in Ukraine and deserved to die.

The case has exemplified the level of repression in Russia and how common denunciations have become. While the country's troops fight in Ukraine, Russia is building up infantry and armored vehicles while stepping up aerial bombardments ahead of planned attacks along Ukraine's southern fronts. This, as per a Kiev military spokesperson, who said that Russians have been preparing for several weeks to conduct assault operations in several directions, specifically in the Zaporizhzhia direction.
