Summary
Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) reports that North Korean troops supporting Russia in the Kursk region are facing heavy casualties, logistical issues, and water shortages due to Ukrainian strikes.
Ukraine estimates 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded out of the 10,000-12,000 deployed by Pyongyang.
Meanwhile, Russia continues its drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, with recent attacks targeting power infrastructure and civilian areas.
President Putin threatened further use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, while Ukraine retaliates with strategic strikes on Russian military infrastructure.
Turns out soldiers that have never seen battle don’t do well against soldiers who have years of experience.
It’s not just experience, it’s training. Ukraine’s military was extensively retrained by Canadian advisors to get them up to our standards of tactics, strategy, and operational logistics. Russia is still stuck on old Soviet doctrine, and North Korea is still basically trying to fight WW2.
Not just Canada, the UK has trained around 35k Ukrainians soldiers, Germany and Poland around 10k, France around 5k and the others Europeans countries are contributing as well.
