The Kremlin has amassed 50,000 Russian and North Korean troops ready to be deployed to the Kursk region to retake the territory seized by Ukraine in its surprise incursion earlier this year, officials said.
The full-force attack from Moscow and Pyongyang troops is expected in the coming days as US and Ukrainian officials confirm sightings of North Korean soldiers training and being deployed in Kursk, The New York Times reported.
Officials fear the attack would undo all the progress Kyiv has made in Russia, with the Kremlin’s forces already making slow but steady advancements in Kursk and in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed the fighting has cost Russia thousands of troops, but Moscow is now replenishing their ranks in Kursk with about 11,000 North Korean soldiers ready to help their new military ally.
One Ukrainian commander told CNN that an influx of North Korean soldiers on the battlefield would allow the Kremlin to redistribute its own forces elsewhere along the eastern front where they’re most needed.
