Ukrainian officials expect a counteroffensive in western Russia to begin in the coming days as North Korea’s troops train with Russian forces.

The Russian military has assembled a force of 50,000 soldiers, including North Korean troops, as it prepares to begin an assault aimed at reclaiming territory seized by Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.

North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops to fight with Russia in Kursk, American officials say. The troops are wearing Russian uniforms and have been equipped by Moscow, but they will probably fight in their own discrete units, U.S. defense officials said.
Ukrainian officials said Moscow had supplied the North Korean forces with machine guns, sniper rifles, antitank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
Russia has been training the North Koreans in artillery fire, basic infantry tactics and, critically, trench clearing, American officials said. That training suggests that at least some of the North Korean forces will be involved in frontal assaults on Ukraine’s dug-in defensive positions.

Now that the MIC has been ousted (for the time being), not one more life needs to be wasted on making them richer.
Putin’s deadline to retake Kursk is right before Trump’s inauguration.
Now, that's really funny!
It may be the last major battle before the ceasefire in early 2025.
Ukraine keeps shrinking, what’s up with that?
Not that it would be a bad thing.
Ukraine just needs to transmit internet nudes to the Norks, combined with pictures of hot food. There will be thousands iof defections.
Given the source, I have no idea if there’s any truth in this article.
Again, Zelenskyy & you wanted war. This is what war looks like. Should have listened to us, and instead of war looked for diplomatic solutions to the problems that Ukraine, U.K., and U.S. definitely played a huge role in fomenting the problems that created this cluster-you-know-what.
A few hours of training on weapons they’ve never see might help ,LOL
My sources are telling me stuff so I made up this story.
Sadly enough thousands and thousands of Russians will die... It’s too bad... BTW - Who started this war??? Who invaded the Crimea? Who invaded the Ukraine? This is the cost of those mistakes, and the man who made them should be replaced.
