Commander-in-chief Syrskyi provided an update on the frontline situation, with a particular focus on the Donetsk region, with the main attention on the key directions there. He also reported on developments in the areas of the Kursk operation. One key point was about the participation of North Korean soldiers... fighting alongside the Russian army. There are many details about the destruction of these forces, though initial reports suggest that Russia is trying to conceal the losses of North Korean personnel. Ukraine’s Defense Forces and intelligence are working to gather full information on the real losses within these Russian units, which now include North Koreans. Unfortunately, we also have to defend ourselves against them. Yet there is no reason for North Koreans to die in this war. The only reason is Putin’s madness, which has consumed Russia and continues to fuel this war. We will continue to defend our positions and work in close coordination with all partners to bring real peace closer.show more

Putin's madness consumes the world. He shouldn't have any friends.

Preliminary data indicates that Russia has begun using a significant number of North Korean soldiers in its assaults. These troops are being integrated into combined units and deployed in operations within the Kursk region. For now, their involvement is limited to this area, but there is information suggesting they may be used on other fronts as well. Losses among these North Korean troops are already noticeable. In fact, Moscow has dragged yet another state into this war—and done so to the fullest extent. And if this is not escalation, then what is the escalation so many have talked about? It is Putin who takes steps to expand and prolong this war, pushing the possibility of peace further away. And he wants the world to face additional problems in Asia as well, which is why the Russians are training North Korea in modern warfare. It is clear that Moscow is ignoring calls for de-escalation from all countries—from China and Brazil to many others. Whenever there is no firm global response, Russia exacerbates the war. It has always been this way. We will defend ourselves—including against these North Koreans. We will continue to act in full coordination with all our partners to bring this war to an end—one that ensures a reliable and lasting peace.

Even after years of war, when we thought the Russians could not get any more cynical, we see something even worse. Russia not only sends the North Korean troops to storm Ukrainian positions, but also tries to conceal losses of these people. They tried to hide the presence of North Korean soldiers. It was prohibited to show their faces during training. The Russians attempted to erase any video evidence of their presence. And now, after first combats with our warriors, Russians are trying… to literally burn the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in battle. This is a demonstration of disrespect, which is currently prevalent in Russia, a disrespect to everything human. There is not a single reason for North Koreans to fight and die for Putin. And even after they do, Russia has only humiliation for them. This madness must be stopped—stoped by a reliable and durable peace, as well as Russia’s accountability for this cynical war.

Today, I received a report from the Commander-in-Chief on the situation in the Donetsk and the Kursk regions. In the areas of the Kursk operation, new assaults have taken place—Russia has once again deployed North Korean soldiers alongside its troops. A significant number of occupiers have been destroyed—hundreds of Russian and North Korean soldiers. This is crucial because battles on Russian territory prevent further escalation against our cities and land. Sixty thousand Russian troops in the Kursk region means sixty thousand soldiers who have not been added to the already significant occupying forces on Pokrovsk and other directions in the Donetsk region. I am grateful to all our warriors for their resilience and to every brigade for results.

Today, I held a Staff meeting. There was a report from Commander Syrskyi on the situation at the front. The Donetsk directions remain the toughest, with updates from Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions as well. There are details regarding the situation in the Kursk region: battles involving North Korean soldiers. They are suffering heavy losses, and it’s evident that the Russian military and their North Korean overseers have no interest in these soldiers’ survival. Everything is done in a way to prevent these North Koreans from being captured by us—their own side finishes them off; there are such facts. Moreover, Russians send them into assaults with minimal protection. Today, we received reports that several North Korean soldiers were taken prisoner by our forces. However, they were severely wounded, and it was not possible to save them. This is one of the manifestations of the madness dictatorships are capable of. The people of North Korea should not be losing their lives in battles in Europe. This can be influenced, among others, by North Korea’s neighbors, particularly China. If China is sincere in its statements that the war should not expend, it needs to exert the necessary influence on Pyongyang.

Today, we discussed the Kursk Operation with our military leadership, marking almost three months of active actions in the Kursk region. This is an important operation—we maintain this “buffer zone” in designated areas near our state border. We must also recognize the value of the Kursk Operation in strengthening our “exchange fund,” which has significantly helped in freeing our people from Russian captivity. I thank all the soldiers, sergeants, and officers involved in our active efforts in the Kursk region. There was also a separate report from the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Foreign Intelligence Service about North Korean military personnel present on Russian territory. Currently, there are already eleven thousand stationed in the Kursk region. We see an increase in North Korean forces, but, unfortunately, we do not see an increase in response from our partners.

The Commander-in-Chief reported several times today, with particular focus on the situation in Donetsk region—especially the Pokrovsk direction and several other areas. We continue to operate on the territory of Kursk and Belgorod regions as well. Russia continues to reject a full and lasting ceasefire—all our partners are already tired of these Russian manipulations. We are defending our positions and will act accordingly, both on the frontlines and in our action on Russian territory. The war must be felt where it came from.

I had a meeting with Japan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and one of the key issues we discussed was North Korea’s alliance with Russia and its support for Putin in this brutal war. I informed him about the activities of North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region and the various threats posed by the collaboration between Pyongyang and Moscow. Russia is teaching North Korea modern warfare, which could lead to significant and widespread destabilization. We must work together with all our other partners to counter this.

Zelensky: For the first time, they cannot fight without "additives" from North Korea. They are now preparing to station an additional contingent of Koreans on their territory. They have received—imagine this—additional ballistics from North Korea. Everyone in the world must understand what this means. North Korean ballistics, their other weapons are being perfected through collaboration with Russia. The more North Korean hits we have here in Ukraine and in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they will correct their imperfections and lack of knowledge. Consequently, there will be even more danger later for Japan, for the Republic of Korea, for the Philippines, and other countries in the region. This is why, when we speak about the necessity of helping us with air defense, we are also talking, in fact, about rebuffing North Korea's appetite and interest in coming here—to our land, to our sky—with its weapons to learn how to wage war.
