Russia-Ukraine: the battle for Kursk

Starting in August 2024, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russia's Kursk region, establishing a significant beachhead and inflicting heavy casualties on Russian forces. In response, Moscow has deployed troops from across the country, including contingents of militia and irregular forces. The presence of North Korean troops supporting Russian forces in Kursk was first reported in October, but their combat involvement became more apparent in December.

The intervention of North Korean troops in Kursk represents a worrying escalation in the Ukrainian conflict, with potential implications for regional and global security. The move highlights Russia's growing dependence on external actors and highlights Moscow's strategic weaknesses. The outcome of this new phase of the conflict remains uncertain, but the next few weeks will be crucial in determining the future of the conflict and the impact of the North Korean presence on the battlefield.
