Ukrainian forces report significant North Korean troop losses in the Kursk region, with both Russian and North Korean commanders viewing them as expendable, resulting in heavy casualties and a lack of protection. The US estimates over 1,000 North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded last week alone. Simultaneously, the US plans to deliver further military aid to Ukraine, including air defense systems, while Slovakia offers to host potential peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, a proposition raising concerns in Kyiv.

It is basic common sense that in any truce talk, all involved parties must be present. So, when Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris stated that she would not engage in peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin without Ukraine’s involvement, it should not have been a surprising statement.

I was taken aback when I came across the news that Hamas is apparently ready for a “complete agreement” if Israel stops the ongoing war in Gaza. It sounds like a step in the right direction, doesn’t it? But hold on a second, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard such promises from Hamas, only to see them fall flat on their face. They say they are willing to talk about an agreement if Israel halts its aggression, but let’s not forget that actions speak louder than words.
Hamas has a history of making empty promises and using deceptive tactics to buy time and regroup.… Continue reading
