Ukrainian president highlights incursion into Kursk region, alleged Russian losses, London's continued support in talks with UK foreign secretary - Anadolu Ajansı

As a result of Friday's strike on the command post in Rylsk, Kursk region, the Russians lost dozens of key officers. Not only their own but also North Korean officers, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview for the Associated Press.

Ukraine has been interrogating two North Korean soldiers after seizing the pair in Russia's Kursk region - the first time it has announced the capture of North Korean troops alive since their entry into the war last autumn.

Thousands of North Korean troops helped Russia regain some of its territory in the Kursk region following Ukraine's counterattack, but the Russian army is now using them less on the front line and have pulled some back.

The Russian army has once again brought in North Korean soldiers to the Kursk region. New assaults have already taken place in this area, with hundreds of Russian and North Korean troops eliminated, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address.

South Korea's spy agency says that North Korean forces have suffered more than 3,000 casualties while fighting alongside Russian troops.
