— Russia may effort to deploy an additional 20-25 1000 North Korean soldiers. However, they have not yet arrived at Kursk,” said Radio Free Asia, president of Ukraine. At the same time, politicians have cited various intelligence sources.
Kim Jong Un will send over 20,000 fresh soldiers from North Korea to Russia
In January, South Korea's intelligence stated that Pyongyang speeded up preparations to send a second tranche of soldiers to Russia due to the expanding number of casualties, while Ukraine estimated that additional support for the Kim Jong Un government would mainly include rocket and artillery troops.
According to the Asian station Zelenski stated that North Korean commanders treated their soldiers as an unnecessary element, sometimes executing them to prevent them from retreating.
It is worth recalling that 4,000 of the 12,000 soldiers sent in the fall of 2024 by Kim Jong Un to support the Russians at Kursk were killed or wounded. Russia and North Korea have not even admitted that Kim Jong Un's troops are helping Vladimir Putin's army in the war.

Russia and North Korea signed a contract in June 2024. This is simply a comprehensive strategical partnership agreement, which includes common military assistance in the event of aggression against either party. Kim Jong Un is to receive assistance from Vladimir Putin in the improvement of rocket and space programs in return.
