Ukraine says North Korean troops back on front line happymamay

The President of Ukraine says that the North Korean forces have returned to the line of confrontation in the West Corsec region, after reports that they were withdrawn last month due to severe losses.

On Friday’s video, Volodymyr Zelensky said “New attacks “in the region partially occupied by Ukraine.

“Hundreds of individuals” Russian employees “and North Koreans added,” they were destroyed. ”

In January, Western officials told the BBC that they believed at least 11,000 soldiers sent from North Korea have been killed in the past three months. North Korea and Russia did not comment.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a widespread invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The fighting led to heavy losses on both sides.

Last week, The Ukrainian Special Forces have told the BBC that they had not seen any North Korean forces there for 21 days.

A spokesman said that they are likely to be pulled after they were subjected to combat losses.

The spokesman added that he was only referring to the areas where his forces were fighting, without giving any details about the period that this front line spent.

Recent reports attributed to South Korean intelligence indicated that North Korean soldiers are not ready for modern war, and they are especially exposed to Ukrainian drones.

Military experts say North Korean losses, if they continue at this pace, are not sustainable.

The soldiers have been deployed after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Northern Coriam leader Kim Jong Un have deepened bilateral relations in recent months, including the signing of the Security and Defense Treaty.

Pyongyang’s assistance to Moscow is now to large amounts of ammunition and weapons.

The forces were also seen as being sent to strengthen the Russian fighting forces, which witnessed great losses.

The Russian army has publicly not disclosed the losses of the battlefield since September 2022, when 5,937 soldiers had been killed.

But the President of Ukraine said this week that up to 350,000 Russian soldiers had been killed, and other reports indicate that the number may be much higher.

Zelinski put military losses in Ukraine in 45100 – but a number of military experts in both Ukraine and the West believe that the losses are much higher.

The Ukrainian forces launched a stunning attack in Kursk six months ago, seizing more than 1000 square kilometers (386 square miles) of Russian territory.

Since then, Russian forces have been able to restore a large part of the area.

However, in the past two days, both Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers have reported a new payment by the Ukrainian forces in Kursk.

The Russian army said that the attacks were repelled, but some reports indicate that the Ukrainians were able to seize more Russian lands. These have not been verified independently.

In other major developments on Friday:

• The Russian army said that its forces acquired the main city of Tertezk in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine – but a Ukrainian military spokesman said that the fighting continues in the industrial center
• US President Donald Trump said, “President Zilinski will meet next week, and I will talk to President Putin. I would like to see the end of the war.”
