Putin's army lacks personnel to defend Kursk region, so Russia is forming battalions of North Koreans to send to the region, and is also thinking about ways to attract additional “manpower.”

As NBN reports with reference to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Kremlin is trying to use various methods to encourage Russians to participate in the military operations in Kursk.
As it became known, the Russian elite has found several ways to stimulate the defense of the Kursk region: Moscow plans to expand funding for potential “liberators” and also revise the approach to assigning veteran status. It is assumed that soon veterans in the Russian Federation will be considered not only those who “defended from invasion”, but also those who resisted “armed provocations on the state border”.
In accordance with the current federal law of the Russian Federation, conscripts cannot directly participate in military operations (including the defense of the Kursk region), but soon such restrictions will be partially adjusted, for which 3.4 billion rubles have been allocated. In addition, according to the updated status, veterans will be granted the right to receive a larger pension and will be provided with social benefits.
ISW emphasized:
Expanding the veteran status is another loophole that will allow the Kremlin to covertly rely on conscripts to protect the border without the need for [radical] changes to legislation.
Earlier, we wrote that ISW revealed the reason for the intensification of the Russian Federation's counteroffensive in the Kursk region.
