Russia Takes Two Ukrainian Cities

Russia said on Tuesday that it has conquered the eastern Ukrainian towns Selydove and Hirnyk.

Why it matters: Open-source data indicates that Russian forces are advancing at their fastest pace in a year. And North Korean troops have just joined Russia’s fight.

  • From October 20 to 27, Russia took more than 75 square miles of Ukrainian territory, according to Agentstvo, a Russian media group.
  • Ukraine’s defenses in the region have been weakened by its offensive into Russia.

Prophesied militarism: The Bible prophesies that Russia will be a major military superpower today. And it warns that Russia will soon build the largest military alliance in history and will be a major player in World War iii.
