The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) disclosed intercepted conversations of Russians that indicate considerable losses of North Korean troops in the Kursk region. According to the Polish Press Agency, numerous wounded have been admitted to Moscow medical facilities.
Ukrainian intelligence, which intercepted a phone conversation between a nurse in Moscow and her husband at the front, reported that in recent days, more than 200 wounded soldiers from Pyongyang were admitted to the wards. The woman noted that more transports were arriving.

"Yesterday, a train arrived with about 100 people. Today, another 120 - that's already more than 200. And who knows how many more there are? Only God knows," laments the wife of a Russian soldier.
She also bitterly comments that the soldiers from the DPRK are receiving priority treatment. The wounded Russians are supposedly in much worse conditions. "Are these Koreans some kind of elite? We're freeing up special rooms for them," says the nurse.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, reported the presence of 11,000 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. Ukrainian military intelligence HUR warns that the participation of the DPRK army in the war on Russia's side poses a threat to Ukraine, South Korea, and Japan.
The SBU has launched a criminal investigation into the participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine. This participation may have far-reaching consequences for world peace. Some North Korean soldiers may return to their country with new combat skills.
