Ukraine announces recruitment drive as Russian troops advance

October 30, 2024 - Ukraine is planning to draft another 160,000 troops into its army over the next three months, as Russian forces advance at their fastest pace since 2022.

Kyiv announced a fresh mobilisation drive Tuesday as Moscow seized the mining hub of Selydove and the US said some North Korean troops were in Russia's Kursk region, warning that thousands more were on their way.

Russia has been making swift advances in the eastern Donetsk region for weeks and on Tuesday said it “fully” captured Selydove – whose estimated population of around 21,000 people has fled from Moscow’s drone and rocket attacks, France 24 said.
