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.

A Ukrainian official said the North Korean forces had been divided into two groups, an assault unit and a support unit, which will help provide security inside the territory recaptured from Ukrainian forces.

Nice meme, but I would ask why is Russia draining eastern Russia of men, depopulating the prison system, sending conscripts to the front, recruiting mercs from around the world and now NK and still Ukraine holds Russian territory and the Russians are no where near occupying the same amount of territory they held months into the war sorry SMO.
We were told manpower was not a problem, equipment was not a problem, and ammunition was not a problem.
All of those seem to be a problem. You want to call it propaganda, that’s fine
>>>>Sadly, Putin doesn’t even care about his own more distant couontrymen as much as do some of our neighbors and FRiends.<<<<
Sadly, American zeepers don’t even care about America as much as they do Ukraine.
There, fixed it.
US’s Project Ukraine that began in 2014 is kaput. Dead.
” It is always partly Mongol blooded Russians invading Ukraine.”
What do you have against Asians? Do you think having Mongol blood is a bad thing? This is some anti-Asian racism here. Go read the front page of this forum. Racism is mentioned twice as being forbidden here.
Good point. How about we begin hearing from the participating parties, as they speak to one another. That may yield progress?
Who cares? How many Ukrainians died needlessly regardless of who started the war?.
Who reneged on a peace deal early on in this conflict?
You keep looking for justice and war is not about justice and justice is not part of peace negotiations. Peace negotiations are about: How do we stop the killing? What new borders are we willing to tolerate?
There is also the unintended consequences of providing North Korea with a training ground to get actual combat experience. For about 50 years or so, the North Koreans have an army that has never seen actual combat. If we don't stop this conflict soon North Korea will have a decent number of battle hardened troops in their army.
How about we begin hearing from the participating parties by name. No anonymous sources.
And all the while, as these fools cry for more money for Ukraine. the national debt rises like a flood, now at $35.989 trillion. For the neo-con neo-libs, bankruptcy is fine.
Good morning to you as well. That seems a very worthy addition. Thank you and i wholeheartedly agree.
