The White House was taken aback by the high number of casualties among North Korean troops on the front lines in Ukraine.

North Korean military forces are experiencing significant losses on the front lines in Russia's war against Ukraine. Over the past week, approximately a thousand of their soldiers have been killed or injured in the Kursk region of Russia. This information was reported by Reuters, as conveyed by UNN.

Details

According to Reuters, this statement was made by White House representative John Kirby.

It is noted that this figure significantly exceeds the estimates previously mentioned by U.S. officials.

In his speech, the White House representative characterized the North Korean military's offensive as "mass infantry assaults without support."

NewsNation reporter Kelly Meyer commented on John Kirby's address on platform X.

She added that, according to Kirby, North Korean soldiers have undergone extensive "brainwashing." Some of them have taken their own lives to avoid being captured by the Ukrainian army.

Reminder

The President of Ukraine reported on the massive losses of North Korean troops on the front lines and their elimination by their own forces. Russia is deliberately sending Koreans into battles without protection and is obstructing their capture.
