Ukraine is '730 days closer to victory', Zelenskyy says as country marks two years of war
Saturday marks the second anniversary of the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine with several EU leaders including Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen travelling to Kyiv to express support.
As 2024 nears its end, Moscow troops continue to make steady progress across the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, moving in on the towns of Pokrovsk and appearing to be closing in on Kurakhove further south.

Russian forces have captured the strategically important village of Storozheve in eastern Ukraine, marking a significant shift in the ongoing conflict. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the "liberation" of the village, which is located near the southern front line in the Donetsk region. This move is part of a broader Russian effort to encircle the nearby town of Velyka Novosilka, increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces already outgunned and outmanned. Military analysts suggest this capture may signal the beginning of a fresh Russian offensive in the region, with Moscow seeking to secure additional territorial gains ahead of potential shifts in international leadership. As the situation intensifies, Ukraine faces increasing challenges to hold its positions in the face of Russian advances.

The Ukrainian military has uncovered a secret plan involving North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. According to reports, thousands of North Koreans were deployed to Russia and given fake military identification documents, including Russian-style names and birthplaces, in an effort to conceal their presence. Despite the false details, the documents still revealed their true origin through Korean signatures. Ukrainian forces have killed several North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, and estimates suggest that between 11,000 and 12,000 North Korean troops are currently stationed in Russia. Both Russia and North Korea have refused to publicly acknowledge the presence of North Korean soldiers, while Ukrainian officials claim Russia is trying to cover up their heavy losses. Reports also suggest that Russia has been using extreme measures to conceal the deaths of these soldiers, including burning bodies and quickly removing them from the battlefield.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.
