Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi of Ukraine has issued a warning about the intense Russian and North Korean forces offensive that the country is currently facing. He described it as the most powerful since the start of the all-out war, with ongoing challenges primarily in the Donetsk Oblast region. Syrskyi emphasized the need for constant renewal of Ukrainian units’ resources due to the active hostilities in certain areas. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently holding back a significant Russian offensive, as reported to Czech military officials during a meeting.
Recent intelligence from the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine revealed that between 7,000 and 8,000 North Korean troops have been deployed close to Ukraine’s border. These troops, armed by Russia, have been equipped with various weapons and equipment, including mortars, assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, anti-tank guided missiles, and more. They have also been provided with night vision equipment and thermal imagers to aid in target identification. The North Korean forces were transported to the area by at least 28 military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
The situation remains dire as Ukraine continues to resist this powerful offensive, and calls have been growing for NATO to intervene and intercept Putin’s missiles. Despite warnings from the Kremlin, the West remains silent on the issue. Ukrainian forces have also warned that North Korean troops should not be underestimated in this conflict. The ongoing battle on the battlefield poses significant challenges for Ukraine, and the international community is closely monitoring the developments in the region.
As tensions escalate and the conflict intensifies, it is crucial for world leaders to address the situation and work towards a peaceful resolution. The involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict adds another layer of complexity to an already volatile situation. The resilience of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the face of this powerful offensive is commendable, but the need for support from the international community is more pressing than ever. The coming days will be crucial in determining the outcome of this conflict, and the world is watching closely to see how events unfold.
