Putin sacrifices North Korean soldiers to exhaust Ukraine's drones and ammunition

The effectiveness of North Korean units is low and they do not change the situation at the front.

This was stated by the deputy commander of the "Freedom of Russia" Legion, Maximilian Andronnikov, call sign "Caesar", on air at Vecher.LIVE. According to him, North Korean troops are using the "cannon fodder" tactics on the battlefield, which are typical of the first and second world wars.

"Caesar" noted that this is being done to exhaust the Ukrainian Armed Forces' resources, such as ammunition and drones. "These units are not particularly effective. To be honest, we expected more from them. These are the words of those who encountered them in battle," "Caesar" detailed.

According to the fighter, Russian dictator Putin is throwing in all his reserves, trying to secure the occupied territories before possible negotiations, so the fighting at the front is very heavy.

On November 22, the commander of the combined unit of the 153rd separate mechanized brigade,Nazariy Kishak, call sign "Sheriff", said that DPRK troops had already been spotted in one of the directions of the front in Ukraine . "We see that there are already DPRK troops in our Kharkov direction," he noted.

Earlier it was reported that there are about 10,900 servicemen from the DPRK in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation . According to South Korean intelligence, these forces were deployed as part of a Russian airborne unit and a marine unit.

North Korean troops deployed in Russia’s Kursk region are reportedly facing significant casualties and inadequate support from Russian forces, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russian troops are sending North Korean soldiers into battle with minimal protection, leading to what he described as “very significant” losses.

“We see that neither the Russian military nor their North Korean overseers have any interest in ensuring the survival of these North Koreans,” Zelenskyy remarked.

It has been hinted that Russian military and overseers of North Korean troops have made the soldiers expendable who are getting abandoned to be taken prisoner or die on the war front with Ukraine. Zelenskyy highlighted the extreme measures North Korean soldiers are taking to avoid capture, noting that “several” wounded soldiers had died after being taken prisoner by Ukrainian forces.
