Fighting has intensified in Russia’s Kursk region, with Ukrainian forces eliminating entire columns of tanks and the battlefield littered with the corpses of Russian and North Korean soldiers, chilling images reportedly show.

Desperate to recapture the region, part of which was first captured by kyiv forces in August and has been defended by Ukraine ever since, Vladimir Putin has sent wave after wave of troops to die as “cannon fodder.”

Ukrainian machine gunners are reportedly so exhausted by the pace at which they have been killing their enemies that they are being replaced periodically.

One soldier compared the attack to the bloody sieges of eastern Ukrainian cities like Bakhmut, saying that “after two hours (the weapons operators) couldn’t take it anymore.”

“Here, the Russians need to take this territory at any cost and they are putting all their forces into it, while we are giving everything we have to hold it,” said Sergeant Oleksandr, 46, a Ukrainian infantry platoon leader. , to the New York Times. Times.

“We are holding on, destroying, destroying, destroying… so much it’s hard to even comprehend.”

Aiming to retake the city of Malaya Loknya, a key Ukrainian stronghold in the region, Putin’s forces reportedly launched a series of massive combined attacks involving some 50 armored vehicles and hundreds of soldiers.

Ukrainian forces reportedly decimated the columns by disabling the leading vehicles with landmines and drone strikes, forcing those behind them to stop dead.

Like ducks sitting in the line of fire, the Russian soldiers inside the vehicles abandoned them and attempted to take shelter in nearby trenches, allowing them to be easily picked off by Ukrainian gunfire and drone-launched grenades.

Due to the huge personnel recruited by Moscow and the massive scale of the attacks, Putin’s forces have been able to gain ground in the region in recent days.

At extremely high cost, with the loss of almost an entire mechanized company in one day, they have apparently been able to regain control of the villages of Leonidovo and the eastern part of Novoivanovka.

Their “meat attacks” have been aided in recent months by the deployment of some 12,000 North Korean soldiers, which Ukrainian soldiers say has made the battles even bloodier.

“They are putting enormous pressure on our fronts and are constantly finding weak points through which they can break through,” said one platoon leader.

It comes after harrowing images allegedly showed the bodies of more than a dozen North Korean soldiers lined up on the battlefield.

The Ukrainian OSINT group said the video “confirms that the Russian command continues to massively use Koreans as cannon fodder for infantry attacks against Ukrainian army positions.”

The North Koreans were sent “ahead of Russian units” to assault front-line positions in Russia’s Kursk region, contested amid a fierce Ukrainian offensive, he added.

After a battle in Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces searched the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers.

They found one still alive, but as they approached, he detonated a grenade and blew himself up, according to a description of the fighting posted on social media by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces on Monday.

The forces said their soldiers escaped the explosion unharmed.

The North Koreans were reportedly sent

The North Koreans were reportedly sent “ahead of Russian units” to assault front-line positions in Russia’s Kursk region, contested amid a fierce Ukrainian offensive.

The report could not be verified, but is among mounting evidence from battlefields, intelligence reports and testimonies from defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures while supporting Russia’s three-year war with Ukraine.

“Self-detonation and suicides: that is the reality of North Korea,” said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, and asked to be identified only by his last name for fear of reprisals against his family when he went to the North. .

“These soldiers who left their homes to fight there are brainwashed and are really willing to sacrifice themselves for Kim Jong Un,” he added, referring to the reclusive North Korean leader.

Moscow and Pyongyang initially dismissed reports of the North’s troop deployment as “fake news.”

But in October Russian President Vladimir Putin did not deny that North Korean soldiers were currently in Russia, and a North Korean official said any such deployment would be legal.

Previous reports say the faces of the corpses have been deliberately disfigured, including burning, to prevent them from being identified as North Koreans.

Ukraine and South Korea reported late last year that North Korea had sent at least 10,000 troops to support Putin’s war effort as Ukraine began to make gains inside Kursk.

Up to 300 North Korean soldiers are believed to have been killed and another 2,700 wounded in the fighting so far, South Korean lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun told reporters on Monday.
