Number of DPRK troops in Russia does not exceed 12 thousand - Zelenskyy
The presence of up to 12,000 North Korean troops has been recorded in the Kursk region of Russia.
This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference in Brussels, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
"As for the North Korean military, we see them. We do not see more than 12 thousand so far. I don't know if there will be more than the number recorded by our special services, we'll see," the head of state said.
Zelenskyy added that Ukraine currently has no captured North Korean servicemen, but has evidence of their participation in the war - photos and videos of the killed DPRK soldiers.
According to the President, the bodies of the found soldiers had Russian passports and documents. At the same time, Zelenskyy said, the Russian side is trying to hide the traces: "The same thing they did with their own military: they burned them completely, and those who were not burned were left to rot on the ground. And here they are burning their faces."
