As a result of the destruction of the central command post of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region, losses may amount to dozens of officers. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with The Associated Press, UNN reports.
Zelensky recalled that on January 31, a Russian command post in the Kursk region was hit.
Yesterday (January 31 - ed.) there was a very strong operation by our military. In the Kursk direction, they hit their central command post. They lost key officers of Russia and North Korea... There was a missile attack from our side and the use of various types of weapons, I think it's about dozens of officers they lost. Russia and North Korea lost together
Zelensky said that the Ukrainian side saw three brigades of soldiers from the DPRK.
One was destroyed - 4 thousand (soldiers - ed.), and two have losses, I don't know how many, but they were not allowed to assault today. Probably, they can let them back in, restore them. This may happen on one day or another. We understand that they can take offensive actions. We have a rough idea of what moments, directions, and dates they might take - that's how intelligence works. We are preparing for certain steps
