Russian army training to defeat sea drones. This video is unique in that a real Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5 is used as a target. In the video, Russian servicemen practice the skills of defeating a sea drone using FPV drones. It is unknown how the Russian army received a working Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5. The drone is presumably equipped with a Starlink satellite Internet system.
The War in the Ukraine

An episode of a battle in the Kursk region of Russia, which is currently unexplained. In the video, an unknown armored personnel carrier, similar to the BTR-82A, drove out to meet two tanks. After which, the tank fired point-blank at the armored personnel carrier, as a result of which the APC's turret was torn off. In the video, you can see that the APC crew left the combat vehicle, one of the soldiers calmly walked past the tank, the rest went in the other direction, but the second tank tried to hit them. The video does not show any insignia on the equipment, and it is also impossible to determine who the soldiers are. Perhaps one of the sides fired at their own equipment.
The feeling in Ukraine seems to be one of defeat and abandonment by the West.
That's because they are. But they are also to blame for not understanding the geopolitical context they are in. I feel countries like Armenia are committing the same error with turning their back on Russia and in favor of the EU.
Project Ukraine is doomed.
I think it is more simple. All crews of the APC tried to fleet to the left side of the video frame passing the tanks because that is where the tree line is. The red arrows point at the 2nd and 3rd soldiers who tried to go that way only to be blocked by the machine gun fire from the tank that hit the APC, then they briefly hide behind the APC before running to the right which is an open field. The 1st soldier was just lucky before the tank crew turned their attention from shooting the APC to searching for escapees, it is just a moment of seconds and smokes, he is quick and lucky, probably has higher chance of survival than the other two in open field.
Ukraine, same as the entire west, is living in the world of delusion. Today Zelensky spoke in the Ukrainian parliament about his "victory plan", how they'll be joining NATO, how they'll defeat Russians everywhere, and how after the war they'll have the biggest army in Europe... Full blown Hitler in the bunker scenario. This goes in the same vein as the fact that the idea of peace talks is being discussed between Ukraine and the US/UK, but nobody's asked Russia if it'll even consider wasting its time at the peace table. It's like me and my family deciding that tomorrow our neighbor will relinquish his stuff to us, because that's what we've decided. And this delusion permeates everything, whatever TV channel you watch, whichever newspaper or news site you read. Everyone is living in f-ing La La Land.
Other than Ukrainian claims, is there any evidence of presence of North Korean personnel in Ukraine or in training in Russia ?
No. The primary sources are either anonymous sources that have not been released or Ukrainian intelligence that provides no evidence. What has been reported without any evidence is that about 10,000 North Koreans may join Russia in Ukraine, with many being officers who are being deployed to command and assist units using KPA national systems. Ukrainian sources claim that North Korean troops are assisting with artillery logistics in the rear area of Mariupol.
I feel like it's such an unusual situation that Russians would most likely have photoed the Koreans whenever they see them.
And Kim too probably wants to show off his troops. If it was true, it would be a big moment for how far the DPRK's military development has come.
