AI Summary:
An estimated 11,000 North Koreans were deployed to Kursk last December. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 4,000 North Korean soldiers had been wounded or killed. Russia gained 498sq km (192 square miles) of territory in the war last month, the ISW assessed. The ISW has previously estimated it will take Russia about two more years of war to complete the conquest of Donetsk alone. Ukraine’s armed forces are preparing to filter 50,000 reservists into brigades fighting on the front lines to replace losses. That number would boost front-line units by a fifth, according to The New York Times. Russia, too, is solicitous of its manpower. Russia launched 660 Shahed drones, nearly 50 missiles and 760 glide bombs into Ukraine. The worst attack came overnight on Saturday. Ukraine’s air defences intercepted or destroyed all but six of the drones. Russia’s Ministry of Defence downed 49 drones over seven regions. Ukrainian drones hit Volgograd refinery again, this time damaging its central processor. Ukraine also targets Russian command bunkers and air defences. Russia has seized about half of an estimated $26 trillion worth of minerals in Ukraine. The Biden administration delayed arms shipments to Ukraine last year, partly due to concerns over escalation.
