According to him, “Russian terrorists continue to shell border settlements in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions. At the same time, they carry out sabotage and reconnaissance activities.”
“For the third day, the enemy is carrying out intensive offensive actions on the territory of the Kursk region, actively using units of the North Korean army. North Korean mercenaries have already suffered heavy losses. The Ukrainian defenders are firmly holding the defense, destroying the enemy’s personnel and equipment,” he added.
On December 14, Zelensky announced the availability of data on the beginning of the use of North Korean troops in assaults against Ukrainian forces in Kurshchyna. “The Russians include them in consolidated units and use them in operations in the districts of the Kursk region. So far, only there,” he said.
On December 15, “Schemy” (Radio Liberty) received a photo from sources among the military in the Kursk direction. These pictures, which journalists cannot independently verify at the moment, show the results of several assaults. Several dozen bodies can be seen against the background of broken equipment.
“Schemes” sources among the military claim that among them are soldiers from North Korea who were active in joint units of the Russian army.
The editorial staff of RFE/RL is currently unable to verify this data from open sources. The Russian military command did not comment on this information.
At the end of October, it was reported that North Korea had sent military personnel to Russia to participate in hostilities against Ukraine. According to Ukraine and Western countries, more than 10,000 North Korean troops have arrived in the Kursk region.
