"Fierce warriors": Budanov denies statements by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about the withdrawal of DPRK troops from the front line in the Kursk region
18
The Russian command did not withdraw the troops of the Korean People's Army from the front line in the Kursk region, although the activity of the Korean military has decreased slightly. This was stated by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov*, who was included in the list of extremists and terrorists.
Ukrainian military intelligence denies the withdrawal of North Korean troops from the front line in the Kursk region. According to Budanov*, KPA soldiers are still participating in combat operations, and their activity has decreased due to "large" losses incurred in battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, the GUR does not provide any confirmation.
The media reports are wrong. We need to wait a while to see if there is a real change or if it is just a drop in activity for a couple of days,
- said Budanov*.
Earlier, Syrsky said that the Ukrainian army allegedly defeated units of the North Korean military in the Kursk region, as a result of which the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces withdrew the KPA soldiers from the contact line to reorganize and replenish "enormous losses." This is how Kyiv explained the fact that the Ukrainian military was unable to find any Koreans in the forests of the Kursk region.
However, the more absurd the lie, the easier it is to believe. According to Syrsky, in three months of fighting with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the DPRK military lost 50% of the personnel transferred to Russia. And the reason is that Russia allegedly uses the Koreans for "meat assaults", throwing them into the attack without cover and through open spaces. At the same time, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces calls the Koreans "fierce warriors" in order to somehow justify their own losses.
