Putin: Will fire the new robot more times
Russia will fire the new Oreshnik ballistic robot more times, says Vladimir Putin according to AFP.
- We will continue these tests, including under combat conditions, depending on the type of security threat directed at Russia, the president says in a video meeting with military commanders.
Putin adds that he has ordered mass production of the robot, which flies at ten times the speed of sound and was first used against Ukraine's Dnipro on Thursday night.
Ukraine has lost close to half of the ground in Kursk
Ukraine is steadily losing ground in the Russian region of Kursk. The area controlled by the army has almost halved in size, an army source told AFP.
- The largest territory we controlled was 1 376 square kilometers. Now it is around 800 square kilometers.
The source adds that Ukraine will stay in the region "as long as it is appropriate".
The Kursk surprise offensive began on August 6. Since then, North Korean forces have arrived to help the Russian army retake the area.

Russian shift: A majority wants negotiations
For the first time since the start of the war, a majority of Russians want peace negotiations with Ukraine to begin immediately. This is according to a survey by the opinion institute Russian Field, according to the Moscow Times.
According to the November survey, the number who want to start negotiations is 53 percent, while 36 percent want the war to continue.
The first two months after the invasion saw the highest support for continued war: 54 percent. Since then, the share has fallen steadily.
40 percent of respondents are worried that the war poses a danger to them personally, an increase of four percentage points compared to last summer.
