A White House official reports that Russia is using North Korean soldiers in 'human waves' assaults against Ukrainian defenses. These troops, described as highly indoctrinated and expendable, are reportedly facing heavy losses due to a lack of training, unfamiliar terrain, and poor communication. The official also stated that North Korean soldiers have committed suicide rather than surrendering to Ukrainian forces, fearing reprisal against their families. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that at least 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded in the Kursk region.
