Allowing Ukraine to bomb Russian depths is a “stupid decision”

US President-elect Donald Trump described outgoing President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to attack Russia with long-range Western weapons as “a very stupid thing.”
Trump added: “I don’t think they should have been allowed to fire missiles 200 miles into Russia, and I think that was a bad thing.”

Big mistake

“I don’t think that should have been allowed, certainly not just weeks before I was supposed to take office,” Trump told reporters on Monday.
Trump, in his first press conference since winning the election last November, at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, described Biden’s move as a “big mistake.”

Trump did not rule out canceling the decision after he takes office next January.

Deployment of North Korean forces

Ukrainian military intelligence said that Moscow intends to reinforce its forces in the Russian border region of Kursk with more North Korean soldiers.
Intelligence officials explained that in addition to Russian casualties, “at least 30” North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded so far in the ongoing battles between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
It was reported that due to the losses, the offensive forces would be reinforced with new elements, mainly from the North Korean army.
However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not comment on these reports.
Ukrainian forces entered Russian territory in a surprise attack last August and are still occupying parts of it until now.

Kyiv strikes on Russia

Russian authorities announced earlier that firefighters were fighting a fire resulting from a drone attack in Oryol, after Kiev announced that it had bombed an oil facility in the region at night.
Kiev regularly carries out drone strikes on Russian sites, especially on military and energy sites.
This comes in response to Russian attacks that caused severe damage to the Ukrainian electricity generation network.
