The Russian invasion The outside world's response
Finnish minister: The West is getting more and more tired of the war

Western countries are getting increasingly tired of supporting Ukraine in the war, warns Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen according to the Financial Times.

The conflict in the Middle East has taken up more and more attention and resources, she says - among other things, the topic dominated when the UN General Assembly convened last month.

Valtonen calls on his colleagues in the West to stand firm in their support for Ukraine. The war is indeed connected with the Middle East crisis, she says, but adds:

- For us Europeans, it is important to understand that if we allow Russia to win in Ukraine, it means the end of our credible deterrence capability.

Russian invasion The battles
Sources: Entire North Korean battalion is made combat ready

An entire battalion of North Korean soldiers, equivalent to around 3⁠000 men, is being trained to actively participate in the Ukraine war on Russia's side. This is stated by Ukrainian intelligence sources for the Kyiv Post.

- Putin is doing everything he can to delay and avoid the decision on a new round of mobilization on Russian territory, says one of them.

The battalion is being equipped with small arms and ammunition, the sources said. The North Koreans are believed to be being readied for high-risk missions to relieve Russian forces – possibly in the Ukrainian-occupied, Russian Kursk region.

In the past, there have been several reports that North Korea sent engineer soldiers to Ukraine.
