Korenevo is located on the territory of the Ukrainian ethnic and cultural region of Eastern Slobozhanshchyna.

It is noted that a number of industrial facilities and a railway station are also located on the territory of the village.

In particular, the village is home to a factory for the production of electrical devices and components, a granary, a plant for the construction of gas networks, energy companies, other small companies and an oil depot, which is currently not working.

What is happening in Korenevo

It is noted that information about the approach of the Armed Forces to Korenevo appeared on the evening of August 7.

These reports testify to the breakthrough of the Ukrainian military from the border into the depths of the Kursk region at a distance of up to 25-30 km.

According to Russian Telegram channels, the Ukrainian military was stopped with a fight in the Korenevo area.

Z-channels, close to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, also report that battles are taking place on the approaches to Korenevo.

The Russians also claim that Ukrainian military reserves were directed towards Korenevo.

There are also reports that the Armed Forces have taken control of the city of Suja.

What do Western analysts say about the offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region

Military analysts of the Bild edition, Julian Repke and Philip Pyatov, do not expect that the offensive operation of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region will be able to change the course of the criminal war against Ukraine unleashed by the Kremlin.

Analysts emphasize that the available footage shows heavy fighting in the area of the city of Suja with the use of aircraft and armored vehicles.

It is also noted that the Ukrainian military managed to capture about 40 soldiers of the criminal army of the Russian Federation during the fighting.

At the same time, the Armed Forces lost only three German Marder BMPs during the offensive.

The advance into Russian territory is not a turning point in the war. Recently, the Ukrainians have had serious problems with the defense of the front line. In several areas, the advanced Russians achieved slow but steady success. Experts called the arrival of Western F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine "late", analysts emphasize.

Ryopke notes that the Ukrainian military has already managed to enter the outskirts of the city of Suja.

The Ukrainian army is now at least 2 km northwest of the city of Suja in the Kursk region, this is visually confirmed, - Röpke notes.

It is reported that Ukrainian troops are moving from the state border along highway 38K-004. The small villages of Gogolivka and Rubanshchyna were taken there.

At a meeting on April 4, the Norwegian government discussed and approved an increase in aid to Ukraine this year to 85 billion kroner ($7.8 billion).

Points of attention

  • Norway has tripled its military aid to Ukraine in 2025, demonstrating its unwavering support for the country's defense capabilities.
  • The Norwegian government approved a substantial aid package of 85 billion Norwegian kroner, which will be instrumental in enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities.
  • This increased aid to Ukraine will not impact the Norwegian economy, as the funds will be utilized abroad for supporting Ukraine's military efforts.

Norway triples aid to Ukraine

This was announced by Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The Norwegian government has approved a support package totaling NOK 50 billion, in addition to the previous NOK 35 billion. This brings the total funding to support Ukraine this year to NOK 85 billion.

"We will triple military support," Stoltenberg said.

He noted that the money will be used abroad, so it will not put pressure on the Norwegian economy.

In February, Norway announced the allocation of a €300 million aid package for the Ukrainian energy sector and the opening of a direct investment channel into the country's industry.

In early March, the Norwegian Parliament decided to increase support for Ukraine to 85 billion Norwegian kroner (almost $8 billion) in 2025. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre called this a contribution to peace and stability in Europe.

As NBC News has learned, members of US President Donald Trump's team are urging him to show toughness in his relations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In their opinion, this will not be enough to force the illegitimate head of the Kremlin to stop his war of aggression against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The threat of imposing tariffs on Russian oil adds a new dimension to the complex relationship between the two leaders.
  • The outcomes of Trump's discussions with Putin could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict and global geopolitics.

Trump should get tougher on Putin

According to insiders from the US presidential administration, Donald Trump's inner circle is convincing the latter not to call the Russian dictator until he commits to a ceasefire in the war against Ukraine.

Anonymous sources do not specify how the head of the White House himself reacted to the idea of blackmailing Putin.

On March 30, it became known that Trump intends to hold a new conversation with the illegitimate head of the Kremlin, during which they will discuss Ukraine. He himself stated this, commenting on the progress towards ending the war.

At the same time, the American leader publicly threatened to impose new tariffs on Russian oil.

Despite this, he added that if Putin does the "right things," his anger may dissipate.

The last telephone conversation between the US and Russian leaders was on March 18, and it lasted over an hour and a half.
