Ukrainian military personnel in Kursk obtained footage showing the aftermath of a battle in the Kruglenke area, where North Korean soldiers suffered significant losses, the InformNapalm community reported. Drone footage shows up to 20 bodies lined up for potential evacuation. Despite this, both Moscow and Pyongyang continue to deny North Korean involvement in the war, with analysts suggesting Vladimir Putin is using this to delay Western decision-making, impacting the battlefield in Ukraine.

"Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region," announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday. "This was not an easy task," he pointed out. "Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Two soldiers, though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine," wrote Volodymyr Zelensky on the platform X on Saturday.

Ukraine has renewed its offensive in the Russian Kursk Oblast, catching the Russian military and Kremlin off-guard, while the incoming Trump administration is preparing to send a fact-finding trip to Kyiv after the Jan. 20 inauguration.

"The enemy is deploying armored vehicles and assault infantry groups in an effort to breach Ukrainian battle lines and seize our positions on foot," Ukraine’s Joint Special Operations Command said. Ukrainian paratroopers noted that most enemy forces are being neutralized by artillery, cluster munitions, drone drops, and FPV drone strikes.

The war in Ukraine's Kursk region has reached a critical point. In his latest address, President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed staggering numbers: nearly 15,000 irreversible Russian casualties and 38,000 total losses in just five months. Here’s what’s happening: Devastating Losses: Over 3,000 Russian vehicles destroyed, including 104 tanks and 575 armored vehicles. Strategic Significance: Kursk, on the border with Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast, serves as a key buffer zone, weakening Russian reinforcements to Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. Captive Exchanges: Ukraine has captured 860 Russian soldiers, facilitating prisoner swaps and securing the release of Ukrainian captives. Alarming Developments: Reports of North Korean troops aiding Russia remain unconfirmed but raise serious global concerns. Ukraine’s goal is clear: disrupt, dismantle, and defend. This battle is shaping the next phase of the war, with both sides escalating their efforts. What’s Next? The Kursk offensive could redefine the conflict as Ukraine intensifies its fight for freedom and territorial security. Location: London
