Russia is using North Korean troops for assaults: ISW analysts speculate on what this may lead to.

Experts analyze the involvement of North Korean troops in assaults against Ukrainian forces

Experts from the Institute for the Study of War have examined data on the involvement of North Korean troops in assaults against Ukrainian forces in Kursk, according to the report...

According to analysts, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that North Korean troops are participating in assaults in the Kursk region of Russia and are suffering significant losses.

Zelensky also emphasized that Russia may use North Korean troops in other areas of the front.

This information is the first official statement from a Ukrainian representative regarding offensive operations by North Korean troops. Earlier, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov reported 'small' clashes with North Korean troops in the Kursk region.

This information has also been reported by pro-war Russian bloggers.

However, at this moment, ISW lacks sufficient evidence to confirm this data.

Analysts concluded that North Korea's ability to train and learn from lessons in the event of being utilized by Russian command would significantly deteriorate, especially in high-exhaustion infantry assaults.

According to the president's press service, the number of North Korean troops on the territory of Russia totals 11,000 and may increase to 100,000.

According to the data from GUR, North Korean army servicemen stationed in the Kursk region of Russia express dissatisfaction due to the insufficient amount of food provided.

On December 14, it became known about the first losses of North Korean troops in Kursk.

Ukrainian intelligence currently has data about Russia employing about 60 North Korean missiles.
