President Volodymyr Zelensky is planning appoint General Mykhailo Drapatyi as Ukraine's Ground Forces commander, the president announced on Nov. 29.
Drapatyi is expected to replace Oleksandr Pavliuk who has served in the position since Feb. 11, 2024.
"Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi successfully organized the defense in the Kharkiv sector and disrupted the Russian offensive," Zelensky said on social media, without elaborating on the reason for the reshuffle.
Drapatyi served as a commander of Ukraine's 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade from 2016-2019.
He has headed the "Kharkiv" operational grouping of troops since this May and "Luhansk" operational and tactical group of forces since September.
Andrei Belousov visited North Korea for talks with the country's military leadership. The United States claims that North Korea has sent more than 10,000 soldiers to Russia and is supplying military equipment.
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea on Friday for talks with North Korean military and political leaders, as the countries deepen their cooperation regarding Russia's war in Ukraine, AP reports, writes UNN.
Details
Announcing the visit, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not say who Belousov would meet with or what the purpose of the negotiations was. North Korean state media did not immediately confirm the visit.
Belousov, a former economist, replaced Sergei Shoigu as defense minister in May after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin began a fifth term in power.
In photos released by the Ministry of Defense, Belousov walks along the red carpet at Pyongyang Airport with North Korean Defense Minister Noh Kwang Chol. North Korean military officials were seen applauding under a banner reading "Full support and solidarity with the struggling Russian army and people.
After his arrival, Belousov noted that military cooperation between the two countries is expanding. He welcomed the strategic partnership agreement signed by Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after their June meeting in Pyongyang, which, he said, is aimed at reducing tensions by maintaining a "balance of power" in the region and reducing the risk of war, including with the use of nuclear weapons.
The June meeting demonstrated the "highest level of mutual trust" between the leaders, Belousov said, as well as the "mutual desire of our countries to further expand mutually beneficial cooperation in a difficult international environment.
North Korean Defense Minister Noh reportedly also "praised the expanding cooperation between the countries' military forces and reaffirmed North Korea's support for Russia's war in Ukraine," calling it a "just struggle to protect the country's sovereign rights and security interests.
The visit took place a few days after South Korean President Yun Seok-el met with a Ukrainian delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov in the South Korean capital Seoul and called on the two countries to formulate countermeasures in response to North Korea sending thousands of soldiers to Russia to help fight against Ukraine.
The United States and its allies have said that North Korea has sent more than 10,000 soldiers to Russia in recent weeks, and that some of those troops have been involved in combat.
North Korea is also accused of supplying artillery systems, missiles and other military equipment to Russia, which could help Putin further prolong the nearly three-year war. Seoul also fears that North Korea, in exchange for its troops and weapons supplies, may receive Russian technology that can improve its nuclear and missile programs.
"The Russian Defense Minister is visiting North Korea not only to celebrate bilateral ties," said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ihwa University in Seoul. "This visit shows that Putin and Kim's military cooperation, which violates international law, is about to intensify even more.
Yun's national security adviser Shin Wonsik said in a television interview last week that Seoul believes Russia provided North Korea with air defense systems in exchange for sending its troops.

Shin said Russia also appears to have provided North Korea with economic assistance and various military technologies, including those needed for North Korea's efforts to build a reliable space surveillance system, which Kim stressed is crucial to heighten the threat of nuclear missiles aimed at South Korea.
Yoon's office did not say whether the two governments discussed the possibility of South Korea supplying weapons to Ukraine during his talks with Umerov.
Yun said his government would take step-by-step countermeasures, linking the level of its response to the degree of Russian-North Korean cooperation.
At the time of writing, it was not clear whether Belousov would meet with Kim, the North Korean leader. Last year, Kim hosted a Russian delegation led by then-Defense Minister Shoigu.
The Russian report on Belousov's visit came as South Korea scrambled fighter jets to respond to six Russian and five Chinese military aircraft that temporarily entered the country's air defense identification zone around its eastern and southern seas, according to a report by South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. It said that Russian and Chinese aircraft did not violate the territorial airspace of South Korea.
The South Korean Defense Ministry said it had held telephone talks with Chinese and Russian military attaches in Seoul to protest the flights and urge countries to prevent a repeat of such cases.
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim has told reporters that his players “cannot concentrate on a video for more than 12 minutes” in a worrying update.
The Red Devils have made a terrible start to the new Premier League season with just four wins in their first 12 matches.
Erik ten Hag was sacked just nine games into the new campaign with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking over for a few matches before Amorim’s appointment earlier this month.
There have been concerns that Amorim’s attempts to deploy his 3-4-3 formation could be tricky without some of his own players and, with the busy festive period coming up, three matches a week are a regular occurrence, leading to fewer opportunities to problem solve on the training pitch.
And now Daily Mail journalist David Wheeler has revealed a slightly worrying update, although he claims Amorim was “joking”, with the Man Utd boss admitting that his side “cannot concentrate on a video for more than 12 minutes”.
Wheeler wrote on X: “Ruben Amorim has revealed that he is literally walking Manchester United’s players through training drills to try and speed up their learning of his football philosophy – joking that they cannot concentrate on a video for more than 12 minutes #mufc.”
Man Utd spent over £180m on five new players in the summer transfer window with Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui moving to Old Trafford.
Not many have been successes to date, with Mazraoui being the main hit, and former Scotland international Craig Burley doubts De Ligt will be in Amorim’s side long term as he “can’t run”.
Burley said on ESPN: “What do we know? We know that De Ligt can’t run, he’s not the quickest. Those balls over the top of the left side, the centre-back gets caught out, then he struggles to get across and help because of his mobility.”
Former Man Utd striker Louis Saha has been impressed by Amorim’s “communication” skills so far and the “humility” that he has shown.
Saha told Slotswise: “The thing I have been most impressed with Amorim so far is his communication. I love the way he speaks about football and Manchester United. What he has said so far has shown humility, but also the confidence that is required to be a top manager.
“He is definitely someone who understands that some players need freedom to express themselves, while others need to be rigid and solid.
“We have so far seen some little signs of patterns that I really like, but the main thing we need is that consistency. We need Amorim to have the conviction to say we will play one system and give it time for the players to learn and master this and get it right, which is where I think ten Hag failed.”
Ben Shalom said that he sees no chance for Tyson Fury to beat Usyk in a rematch. The promoter believes that in the first fight, the Ukrainian won without even showing his best boxing.
British promoter Ben Shalom said that he does not see a way to bypass Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch for Briton Tyson Fury, writes UNN with reference to DAZN.

"I always supported Tyson in the first fight and I always wanted him to win like a Briton, but I don't see a way to beat Alexander Usyk," British promoter Ben Shalom told Betfred.
"He proved it time and time again, and I don't even think it was the best [version] of Usyk defeating Tyson for the first time," the promoter added.
"I think they will both be better this time, but I have to support Usyk, given the history, no matter how much I want Tyson to win," he said.

The French president visited and showed the restored Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The historical monument, restored for 700 million euros, will open to visitors on December 7.
Five years after a fire damaged Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the world has seen a historic French landmark for the first time. President Emmanuel Macron visited and showed the restored monument on Friday, sharing a video in X, writes UNN.
Details
On November 29, eight days before the official opening, Macron invited the world to visit the renovated and renovated Notre Dame as part of a two-hour televised inspection tour. This is the first time that restoration work has been shown to the public, notes France 24.
When a fire broke out in a 12th-century Gothic masterpiece in 2019, Macron promised not only to restore it within five years, but also to make it "even more beautiful" than before, and this goal, according to the French authorities, was achieved.
About 250 companies and hundreds of experts were mobilized for the restoration at a cost of 700 million euros in net donations on the site, which has been dubbed the "construction site of the century".
All 2,000 people who contributed to the work were invited to the event on Friday, of which at least 1,300 people were expected to attend.
"This latest visit to the site is an opportunity to thank them in particular – from woodworkers to metal and stone craftsmen, from scaffolding makers to roofers, from Bell makers to art restorers, from Gilders to Masons and sculptors, from carpenters to organ makers, from architects, archaeologists, engineers and planners to logistics or administrative functions," Macron said before the visit.
Accompanied by his wife Brigitte, Macron was to explore key areas of the cathedral, including the nave, choir and Chapel.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, which lost its famous Spire in a fire, is scheduled to open on December 7.

Two journalists from the Ukrainian media outlet Hromadske came under Russian attack in Kharkiv Oblast on Nov. 25 while filming a story about volunteers evacuating abandoned horses.
Journalists Ksiusha Savoskina and Oleksii Nikulin went to film the evacuation of animals together with volunteers from Kharkiv Animal Rescue at an abandoned farm on the left bank of the Kupiansk district, Hromadske reported on Nov. 28.
The group was accompanied by a soldier, as he had spotted the horses from the Ukrainian forces' positions.
As the evacuation of the horses began, a Russian drone appeared overhead, forcing everyone inside a building. Later, an explosion occurred — the car, along with the journalists' backpack containing lenses for filming, were destroyed as a result of the attack.
"Since then, we tried not to leave the hangar. The volunteers were supposed to put the horses in a trailer, and we decided that we would not leave (the hangar) the whole day until it got dark because it was very dangerous — (the Russians) had probably already spotted us," Savoskina said.
Another explosion also set a neighboring building on fire. The journalist suggested that Russian forces might have dropped a mine on it.
"Despite this, everyone remained healthy. The horses are also unharmed — they are now in Kharkiv, then they will be transported to a children's equestrian school," Savoskina said.
Russian troops ramped up their efforts near Kupiansk in early September and approached the city’s industrial outskirts in the northeast. Earlier in November, Ukrainian forces successfully repelled Russian attempts to break into the city.
The crowd-sourced monitoring website DeepState also reported on Nov. 26 that Ukrainian forces had completed clearing Kupiansk of Russian soldiers.
Kupiansk is a key logistics and railway hub in the eastern part of Kharkiv Oblast. With several highways and five railway lines running through it, the town was briefly occupied by Russian forces before it was liberated during a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive in the autumn of 2022.
Capturing the city would widen the north-to-south supply route from Russia's Belgorod Oblast, fuelling their attempt to take the entire Donbas region.
