Ukraine war briefing: Human wave' of North Korean troops being sent to their deaths, says US
Briefly

North Korean troops deployed in the Kursk region are facing extensive losses with Russian forces providing them minimal protection in battle, illustrating their expendable status. President Zelenskyy noted the perilous conditions, asserting that both Russian military and North Korean commanders are neglecting the safety of these soldiers. Many wounded North Koreans reportedly succumb to injuries after capture, evidencing the dire situation on the ground where survival appears to be of no concern.
John Kirby from the National Security Council emphasized that North Korean troops are being sent into battle under extreme conditions, with reports indicating they would rather die fighting than face capture. The tactics employed by their generals are essentially asking them to form a 'human wave' in futile attacks, underscoring the brutal treatment of these soldiers and their acknowledgment as mere expendables in the strategy against Ukraine.
