A military spokesman told AFP on Friday, January 31st that Ukraine claimed that the Korean soldiers who fought with the Russian forces at the Coursk front line were “withdrawn”.
Intelligence agencies from South Korea and Ukraine reported that Pyongyang sent more than 10,000 soldiers to support Russia in the Kurusk region. Ukraine launched a surprise cross -border offense in August. This marks the first time that the foreign army has entered the Russian territory since World War II, thereby occupying dozens of settlements and major setbacks from Moscow.
The deployment of the North Korean forces has never been formally recognized by Russia or North Korea, which aims to strengthen the Russian army and help repel Ukraine’s progress. However, nearly six months later, Ukraine continued to occupy part of the Russian territory, and President Vodemir Zenoski believed that this was a strategic advantage of potentially negotiating with the Kremlin.
The Ukrainian special combat troops spokesman Oleksandr Kindraatenko said: “In the past three weeks, we did not see or discover any activities or military conflicts with Korean people.” He added: “We believe that due to huge losses, they are due to their huge losses, they With withdrawal “
Ukraine had previously reported to capture or kill several Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. Zelensky released the camera of the interrogation, claiming that it was a Korean prisoner of war captured on the KURSK line. Ukrainian officials also claimed that the injured North Korean soldiers were ending their lives with grenades, not being captured.
When asked about the report of withdrawal, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to provide a clear response. Peskov said: “There are many different arguments there, whether right or wrong.” “It’s not worth commenting every time.”
Kyiv and Western countries have criticized the deployment of North Korean forces at the danger of conflict. Ukraine said that about 2,000 Russian civilians lived under the control of Ukraine and wereolated from the communication with relatives in Moscow. According to reports, the frustration of Russian border areas is growing because local authorities lack actions to ensure that they return or provide the latest situation about its situation.
Although Ukraine maintains the holding of parts of the Kurusk region, Russia has been gaining benefits at other parts of the front of 1,000 kilometers. On Friday, Moscow’s troops announced that Novovasylivka, a village in eastern Ukraine, was close to key logistics hubs and important military supply routes. The village is close to Pokrovsk in the Donetsk area. Although the area does not fully control the area, Russia claims that the village claims to be included in the area in 2022.
