More than 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded in Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine war, claims Volodymyr Zelensky.

North Korea has lost more than 3,000 troops in about two months of combat in Russia’s Kursk region, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday — and he criticized world leaders for doing “almost nothing” to counter Moscow’s alliance with Pyongyang.

North Korea is preparing to send additional soldiers and armaments, including kamikaze drones, to Russia, reports Yonhap, citing South Korean intelligence data. According to experts, about 10,000 soldiers sent by Kim Jong Un's regime are operating in the Kursk region.
