Details about the Kursk region – battles with the participation of the North Korean military. They have a lot of losses. A lot. And we see that the Russian military and North Korean supervisors are not interested in the survival of these Koreans at all. They are doing everything to make it impossible for us to capture Koreans – they are being killed by their own pele, there are facts. And the Russians send them to the assaults so that they have a minimum of protection,” Zelensky said.

He said that today there was information about several sdiers from North Korea whom Ukrainian sdiers managed to capture. However, their lives could not be saved due to severe injuries, despite attempts at resuscitation.

“This is one of the manifestations of the madness that dictatorships are capable of. The Korean pele should not lose their pele in the battles in Eure. And this can be influenced, among other things, by Korea's neighbors, including China. If China is sincere in its statements that the war should not expand, we need to have a corresponding impact on Pyongyang,” the President added.
