The Army of the DPRK and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will carry out counter -offensive in Kursk region - the media

According to the journalists of Bild, both states will win from the cooperation of the DPRK and the Russian Federation. North Korea revenues can increase, and the Kremlin will show that he has a serious enemy. North Korean soldiers, together with the troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, will take part in a counter -offensive in the Kursk region. About it writes The New York Times with reference to Ukrainian and American officials.

"Several thousand North Korean soldiers have arrived in the Kursk region, where they are expected to take part in the future counter -adventure to displace Ukrainian troops who have occupied part of the region since August," the statement said. Journalists say that the DPRK's troops have not yet entered the battle, and it is not yet clear what role they will play in the future.

Whatever their role, any significant number of North Korean soldiers will allow Russia to keep more of its forces in eastern Ukraine. They will be able to "focus on the admiration of as much as possible Ukrainian territory to harsh winter weather. " Bild with reference to research by Elena Huseynova's analyst from Hankuk University in Seoul notes that the cost of supplying weapons to Russia with the DPRK is up to five billion euros to date.

North Korea can "significantly increase" its income at the expense of cooperation with Moscow. Depending on the number of soldiers provided by the Kremlin, the income of the country's power apparatus can increase by hundreds of millions of dollars. According to Huseynova, North Korea authorities are unlikely to send more than 20,000 soldiers to the Russian Federation. It is this amount that will not jeopardize the stability of the Kim Jong In.

"Russia turns to North Korea, first of all, because it has a huge need for ammunition. Putin also wants to show that he has a close ally, and therefore the opportunity to maintain an aggressive war for a long time," Olena Guseynova added. We will remind, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on October 25, when the use of North Korean fighters on the front line is expected. It was planned that the first military with the DPRK would be involved in the war zone as early as October 27-28.

On Sunday, October 27, the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak noted that North Korea de facto was involved in a full-scale war with Ukraine. The involvement of the DPRK army in hostilities changes the script and the meaning of all confrontation. On Monday, October 28, it became known that the first trucks with the North Korean troops probably reached the front line in the Kursk region.
