Zelenskyy confirmed the first losses of DPRK military personnel in the Russian Federation

Russia already has its first casualties on the front among the servicemen from North Korea. The bloody dictator is using North Korean soldiers as "cannon fodder."

This information was confirmed by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with the Japanese news agency Kyodo News. He added that Kyiv has evidence that about 12,000 North Korean soldiers are in the combat zones.

However, Ukraine needs to gather evidence before reporting the exact number of casualties among the North Korean servicemen.

"Exactly how many North Korean military personnel, sent to the Kursk region in Russia, which borders Ukraine, were killed or wounded in battles with Ukrainian defenders, is currently unknown," the president added.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also predicted that many North Korean soldiers will be sent to the frontline of the war in the future, and there is "no doubt" that Putin will use them as "cannon fodder."
