Ukraine reports first confirmed North Korean casualties in Ukraine conflict, following earlier claims of troop presence
ai generated text
There is a reported conflict between North Korean troops and the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region, with varying casualty numbers. The Ukrainian military intelligence agency claims that around 30 North Korean troops have been killed or injured, while the Pentagon suggests there may be some casualties but does not provide a specific number. The US and Ukrainian governments have stated that North Korea had sent 10,000 to 12,000 troops to Russia, which Russia has not commented on. Russia's defense minister has stated that Moscow must be ready to fight the NATO military alliance in Europe.
In view of rising geopolitical tensions, we must take additional measures to ensure the security of Russia and our allies.
The activities of the Ministry of Defence are based on … ensuring full readiness for any scenario in the medium term, including a possible military conflict with NATO in Europe in the next decade.
Also in the area of the village of Kurilovka, at least three North Korean servicemen went missing.
The language barrier remains a difficult obstacle to management and coordination.
The strike was timed to coincide with the cold snap. This is a deliberate, cynical Russian terror aimed specifically at our people.
Today, we already have preliminary data that the Russians have begun to use North Korean soldiers in their assaults. A significant number of them.
The poor integration and ongoing communication problems between Russian and North Korean forces will likely continue to cause friction in Russian military operations in Kursk … in the near term.
