The Pentagon currently has no evidence that North Korean soldiers have taken an active part in offensive combat operations against the UAF on the front lines.
This was announced by Pentagon spokesman Major General Patrick Rider on Monday, December 2, during a briefing.
“We know that in many cases they were integrated into Russian units, and we are aware of reports of the deaths of North Korean soldiers as a result of Ukrainian strikes on Russian facilities. I can’t give you an exact number, but generally speaking, we haven’t seen the DPRK military engage in offensive combat so far, although we expect it will likely happen at some point in time,” Ryder said. .
The participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine is the main thing
On October 18, the Defense Ministry announced that almost 11,000 North Korean soldiers are training in eastern Russia to fight against Ukraine. South Korean intelligence reported that the Russian Federation is preparing North Korean special forces for the war in Ukraine.
On October 28, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed the involvement of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine and their redeployment to the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia has armed the North Korean military “infantry-style” — with mortars, machine guns, machine guns, rifles, etc.
As The Washington Post reported, in exchange for people, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un will receive money, military technology, and international attention from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
On November 4, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that 11,000 troops from North Korea are stationed in the Kursk region.
On November 5, Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov announced that the first small clash with North Korean troops took place in the Kursk area.
According to the Ministry of Defense of South Korea, North Korea received anti-aircraft missiles from Russia in exchange for sending troops to participate in the war against Ukraine.
In addition, it became known that Russia supplied North Korea with more than a million barrels of oil (56 thousand tons) from March 2024.
