The head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov,
will arrive in Kursk region as early as October 23.
This was announced by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, in a comment to The War Zone.
The North Koreans must help the Russians repel the offensive of the Defense Forces in the Kursk region. In total, it is known that the DPRK plans to deploy more than 12,000 soldiers in Russia, including fighters from special operations forces.
“Tomorrow we expect the first units in the Kursk direction,” Budanov said.
He added that “we will see in a few days” how many North Koreans there will be and how they will be equipped.
