Summary
Western officials report that around 1,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed, with 4,000 total casualties, since joining Russian forces in Ukraine’s Kursk region.
North Korea sent 11,000 troops, reportedly from the elite Storm Corps, to support Russia, but the poorly trained and equipped soldiers are suffering heavy losses.
Despite their vulnerabilities, Ukraine’s military warns that the influx of North Korean troops poses challenges due to their numbers and Soviet-style tactics.
The deployment reflects North Korea’s costly support for Russia amid ongoing conflict.
Heartbreaking honestly. Men who had no hope in life, being thrown to the meatgrinder for no reason.
Hope putin faces justice, now or eventually.
On the plus side, some have been captured and are now prisoners of war. It’s a significant quality-of-life improvement.
