The Russians have massed 50,000 troops in the Kursk region , including North Korean troops, as they prepare for offensive actions to retake lost territory.

The New York Times reports this, citing Ukrainian and American sources. According to rumors, the attack is imminent and will take place "in the coming days." The North Korean troops "are completing training, especially for artillery and infantry maneuvers, and are divided into two units, one assault and the other support."

Meanwhile, the Kremlin is sending signs of a thaw towards the US , in view of January when President Donald Trump will take office.

"His willingness to reach a peace agreement in Ukraine indicates that the signals are positive," says Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. " The signals," he reiterates, "are positive. During his election campaign, Trump said that he could make a deal that would bring peace. At least he talks about peace, he doesn't talk about confrontation, he doesn't say he wants to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, and this distinguishes him favorably from the incumbent administration . It is difficult to say what will happen next. But if the line of Harris and Biden is predictable, Trump is less so. We will wait and see how the situation develops and in the meantime we will proceed with our business."
