Ukraine liberates more Russian-occupied territory | US sends more HIMARS | China support Putin

The village of Borova in Kharkiv was reportedly freed by Ukrainian forces on October 3 according to the local council. President Zelensky of Ukraine claimed that his troops had taken back towns in a number of areas, but he gave no further information.

If Ukraine joins NATO, China has warned the US that there will be serious repercussions, including the possibility of nuclear war. In support of Russia's annexation of the four regions of Ukraine, North Korea has charged that the US has "gangster-like double standards."

According to a Reuters report, 4 HIMARS are reportedly part of the most recent $625 million US military aid package.
