Russia has not yet deployed North Korean soldiers in assaults in the Kursk region. The situation there has been stabilized, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council.
According to Kovalenko, the combat test carried out by the Russian forces in the Kursk region was unsuccessful for them. The enemy lost equipment and part of their personnel.
He noted that the Russian army still has the capacity for further assaults in the Kursk region.
"The North Korean military has not yet been involved in assault operations, but they are positioned in place," Kovalenko clarified.
