At least 300 North Korean soldiers killed and 2,700 wounded in war against Ukraine – South Korean intelligence

The deployment of North Korean troops to Russia has reportedly expanded to include the Kursk region, with estimates suggesting that casualties among North Korean forces have surpassed 3,000,

lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun told reporters after a briefing from the spy agency

For those North Korean soldiers who do not wish to return, there may be other options available,

said Zelenskyy

Notably, memos found on deceased soldiers indicate that the North Korean authorities pressured them to commit suicide or self-detonate before capture,

he said

Ukraine is ready to hand over Kim Jong Un's soldiers to him if he can organize their exchange for our warriors who are being held captive in Russia."

In a post on social media platform X Sunday, Zelensky said

In December, they (North Korean troops) engaged in actual combat, during which at least 100 fatalities occurred
