While allegations that North Korea sent soldiers to Russia to fight against Ukraine continue, Ukrainian intelligence made a statement about the soldiers North Korea sent to Russia. Ukrainian intelligence reported that North Korean troops trained in Russia were deployed in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukraine launched an attack last August.
NORTH KOREAN TROOPS ARE IN KURSK!
Ukrainian intelligence said, “The first units of the North Korean army trained at training grounds in the east of Russia have already reached the combat zone of the Russia-Ukraine War. “In particular, their presence was recorded in the Kursk region on October 23, 2024,” he said.
CLAIMS ‘NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS ARE IN TRAINING’
Ukrainian intelligence stated that a total of around 12 thousand North Korean soldiers, including 500 officers and 3 generals, are currently in Russia and are being trained at 5 military bases, and that Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov is responsible for supervising the training of North Korean soldiers.
“NORTH KOREA SENT AT LEAST 3 THOUSAND SOLDIERS TO RUSSIA”
US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said at a press conference: “We evaluate that North Korea sent at least 3 thousand soldiers to the east of Russia between the beginning and the middle of this month.” We evaluated that he traveled to Vladivostok. “The soldiers in question then went to Russian military training centers in the east of Russia, where they are currently training,” he said.
