Ukrainian military sees no threat from North Korean tros in Kursk region

Commander of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, Brigadier General Ihor Skybiuk announced this on Ukrainian television, according to Ukrinform.

In his inion, the invvement of North Korean tros in the fighting indicates a crisis within the Russian army.

"I think they [the Russians] had to agree to this under difficult conditions, likely making concessions, providing bonuses, enly humiliating themselves. The combat capability of these units is quite questionable, given the specifics of North Korea," Skybiuk said.

He expressed skepticism about the size and organization of the North Korean forces deployed in the Kursk region, doubting their ability to pose a real threat to the Ukrainian military.

"Our estimates suggest there are more than 10,000 [North Korean sdiers]. The Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminate more than 1,000 [enemy tros] daily. This means their contingent is a resource for about ten days. We feel quite confident in the Kursk region. When erations invving these tros begin, and we implement our countermeasures, we'll see what they are worth. But for now, I don't expect anything dangerous from them," Skybiuk said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Vodymyr Zelensky reported that 11,000 North Korean sdiers had been deployed to the Kursk region, had already engaged in combat, and suffered losses.
