In particular, during a briefing for journalists, he was asked whether the State Department had recorded a new group of North Korean soldiers who arrived in Russia amid the losses of DPRK military personnel.
I don't have any new claims today of new North Korean soldiers going into Russia, but we continue to assess that it could be - it's a possibility, but it's not something we've seen to date. As I said yesterday, we have seen North Korean soldiers go to the front lines in Kursk, and we have seen them suffer casualties, both killed in action and wounded
Addendum
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Russian attempts to hide the presence of DPRK military in Ukraine by burning their faces after their deaths. Previously, the occupiers forbade them to show their faces during training.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russia does not advertise the participation of the North Korean military in the fighting in the Kursk region in order to hide the lack of personnel in its own army.
