According to Ukrainian sources, the Russian army has now launched a “large-scale” counter-offensive in the Kursk border area, where the Ukrainian army has been holding out since an unexpected advance in the summer. According to the Ukrainian commander-in-chief, North Korean troops are also being deployed.
“For three days the enemy conducted intensive offensive operations in the Kursk region, actively using units of the North Korean army,” Ukrainian army commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a televised videoconference with regional officials. The North Korean units had already suffered “heavy losses.”
Bodies of North Korean soldiers filmed?
On Monday, Ukrainian intelligence said at least 30 North Korean soldiers fighting on the Russian side were killed or injured during fighting in Kursk over the weekend. The Ukrainian unit “Madjar” deployed there published a video recording from a reconnaissance drone on the X platform showing the corpses of soldiers lying next to each other in the snow. According to the image of “Madjar,” North Korean soldiers gathered their fallen comrades after heavy fighting on a part of the front. There is currently no independent confirmation of this. According to the US and South Korea, about 10,000 soldiers from North Korea are stationed in Russia.
Putin: “Entire front line firmly in Russian hands”
Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with army leadership on Monday that Russian soldiers “kept a firm grip on the strategic initiative along the entire front line.” According to Putin, his soldiers have been able to take control of 189 settlements so far this year.
