senior Ukrainian diplomat said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>It would be a fitting way to end the 81-year-old\u2019s presidency, Ukraine argues, and would be a strong \u201cpolitical signal\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>Speaking in an interview at the Ukrainian mission to NATO, the western military alliance\u2019s Kyiv ambassador, Nataliia Galibarenko, said: \u201cWe sincerely believe that it can be part of the legacy of [the] current American administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>The US presidential election next month could have a significant impact on its approach towards support for Ukraine\u2019s war against Russia, with Donald Trump so far unclear on how he would handle the conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>Russia says Ukraine\u2019s possible accession to NATO is a justification for the brutal war they have waged since Putin\u2019s forces invaded in February 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>But Galibarenko says an invitation would provide a \u201cfinal verdict\u201d for Russia, and that they would no longer be able to \u201craise the stakes using this topic\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-482ou5-2 eOHevC sc-1ublf85-0 celQSh image align-none\">\n<figure class=\"sc-1cbdeug-0 cpcmmN\">\n<div

outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>North Korea has sent around 10,000 soldiers to Russia to aid Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion, a Western diplomat has said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>Of these, over a dozen soldiers have deserted from around 7 km (4 miles) from the border with Ukraine, reported Suspilne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>It is not immediately clear what caused the North Korean troops to voluntarily exit the conflict but the Russian military is looking for the now missing soldiers, the report added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1ublf85-1 kglkgN\">\n<p>The information is being concealed by Russian commanders from being leaked to their higher-ups,
