South Korean defense officials claim that North Korea has sent over 10,000 troops to Russia, with many of those already stationed in frontline areas, including Kursk region, where they may be soon positioned to support operations against Ukraine.
The Pentagon reported a similar assessment, saying that at least 10,000 North Korean soldiers are in Russia’s Kursk region. However, U.S. officials failed to confirm if these troops hopped into action to help Russian in combat.
Ukrainian intelligence earlier said that North Korea has deployed some 12,000 soldiers to Russia, including 500 officers and three generals. These North Korean troops are currently training at five military bases in Russia.
“We understand that over 10,000 North Korean soldiers are in Russia, with a substantial number already moved to the frontlines, including to Kursk,” stated South Korean Defense Ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyu.
Muddled accounts make it hard to assess the extent of the North Koreans’ direct involvement in combat.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
