Ukrainian forces engaged in intense tank battles with Russian troops, resulting in significant Russian losses. Ukraine's military reported over 1,580 Russian soldiers killed or wounded in the last day, along with the destruction of 49 armored vehicles and 32 artillery systems. Footage shared by Ukraine's Defense Ministry shows a Ukrainian tank striking Russian positions, causing large explosions. Fighting is concentrated in Kursk, an area previously claimed by Ukraine, where Russian forces have reportedly suffered heavy casualties. In total, Ukraine claims Russia has lost nearly 10,000 tanks and around 700,000 soldiers since the conflict began in February 2022. Meanwhile, recent U.S. election results may influence the war's dynamics, as Donald Trump has indicated intentions to address the conflict differently upon taking office.
