Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Based on the last 12 months advance, Russia will succeed in being back to precisely square 1 in November 2026. They will need another 420,000 troops on top of current. Total losses to Russia will be about 2.5 million men, dead or maimed. Ukraine will be 800-1000,000. The reputations of both countries will be changed immeasurably. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai Army Nabs Jobless Migrants Returning from Cambodia
Picture courtesy of Thai Army via FM91Bkk In a bold bid to find work, nine Cambodians were arrested after illegally crossing into Sa Kaeo, Thailand. The crossing comes amid ongoing border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, leaving them jobless after returning home. Thai soldiers apprehended the group in Aranyaprathet district on Monday. The Royal Thai Army detailed their arrests, revealing two sneaky entries on the same day. The first group included a 19-year-old man, a 21-year-old woman, and two minors, aged 15 and seven. They were nabbed while meeting with Thai smuggler Thongchai Maenpuen, 37, who was caught waiting in his vehicle near Highway 3383. Thongchai confessed that a relative had hired him to pick up the migrants at a fee of 300 baht per person. The Cambodians shared that they had collectively forked out 13,000 baht for the illegal venture. Previously employed at the Indochina market, their return home saw them jobless, prompting their risky return, according to the Bangkok Post. At a natural crossing in Ban Phu Nam Liang village, authorities detained another five Cambodians who were carrying luggage. Among them were a couple aged 42 and 46, their children aged 13 and eight, and a 22-year-old male who tagged along. Previously, the couple sorted shoes at Rong Kluea market, but after becoming jobless in Cambodia, they sought to reconnect with their former employers. Both incidents reflect the ongoing struggles faced by workers amid border instability. As tensions continue, the flow of job seekers crossing borders highlights the pressing economic concerns in the region. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-08-13 -

Israel in talks with South Sudan to resettle Palestinians
Israel is reportedly in discussions with South Sudan about the possibility of resettling Palestinians from Gaza to the war-torn East African country, part of a wider effort by Israel to facilitate mass emigration from the territory largely left in ruins by the 22-month offensive against Hamas. Six people familiar with the matter confirmed to the AP news agency that talks have taken place, although it is unclear how far they have advanced. Israel has floated similarly resettlement proposals with other African nations, including Sudan and Somalia. Israel in talks with South Sudan to resettle Palestinians from Gaza, sources say AI Overview South Sudan has experienced a devastating civil war since December 2013, primarily between government forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and opposition forces led by former Vice-President Riek Machar. The conflict has resulted in widespread human rights abuses, including ethnic massacres, displacement, and killings of journalists. At least 400,000 people were killed, and millions have been displaced internally or as refugees. The conflict has also severely impacted the country's economy, which is heavily reliant on oil exports. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai Army Threatens Action: Cambodian Landmine Triggers Fury
In this handout photo from the Thai Army, a Thai military engineer on Aug. 4, 2025, removes an anti-personnel mine that Thai authorities allege was planted by Cambodian soldiers in Phu Ma Kheua, a disputed area that Thailand claims is part of its Sisaket province, where the two nations recently clashed. (Thai Army via AP) The Royal Thai Army is hitting back after a Cambodian landmine exploded on Thai soil in Surin province. The incident happened on Tuesday morning, injuring one Thai soldier, and now there are calls for self-defence. Yes, you heard right; things are getting serious. The explosion, reported at 9:10 am, occurred along a standard patrol route a kilometre from the Ta Muen Thom temple ruins. Seven paramilitary rangers were on duty when Sgt Theerapol Piakhanthee stepped on the device. The blast left him with severe injuries to his left ankle, landing him in Phanom Dong Rak Hospital. The army spokesman, Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree, is not holding back. He claims this explosion is direct evidence of Cambodia violating international laws and the Ottawa Treaty, which bans such landmines. He accuses Cambodia of direct attacks on Thai forces within Thailand, saying these incidents showcase Cambodia's “ill intention” and continuous threats despite the ceasefire agreement. Accusations of Cambodia's territorial integrity violations and the confirmation of the ceasefire pact during the recent General Border Committee meeting intensify the situation. Maj Gen Winthai alleges that these acts reveal Cambodia's intent to use concealed weapons to undermine the peace process between the two nations. “It’s clear Cambodia is systematically using landmines against us,” Maj Gen Winthai asserted. He added that while the Thai Army has maintained a peaceful stance, ongoing aggressions might force them to defend themselves under international law. The aim is to confront the losses faced by Thai military personnel due to repeated violations of the ceasefire and Thai sovereignty. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated case. Since the onset of landmine explosions on July 16, these concealed threats have resulted in the loss of five Thai soldiers' legs on Thai soil. Thirteen soldiers have sustained injuries in the Surin, Si Sa Ket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces, leading to increased tension between the neighbouring countries, according to the Bangkok Post. For now, the Thai Army appears to be losing patience, and the demand for protective measures is becoming increasingly louder. Could this latest incident push the relationship between Thailand and Cambodia to a critical point? Only time will tell. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-08-13
