“Several North Korean soldiers died today. Our soldiers managed to capture them. But they were very seriously injured and could not be saved”he said during his daily speech, denouncing “the madness of which dictatorships are capable”sending soldiers to die “in battles in Europe”.
“They have a lot of losses. A lot. And we see that the Russian army and the North Korean supervisors are not at all interested in the survival of these Koreans” he said. “Everything is done to make it impossible for us to capture Koreans. The Russians send them to attack with minimal protection”he denounced.
Troops “that can be sacrificed”
“More than a thousand” North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia to fight against Ukraine and used as troops “can be sacrificed” were killed or injured during attacks “hopeless” in the Russian border region of Kursk, said the same day a spokesperson for the American presidency, John Kirby.
The involvement of a regular foreign army constituted a major escalation in the invasion which was launched almost three years ago by Vladimir Putin and is entering a critical phase with the return in less than a month of Donald Trump to the White House.
