The Naval News portal has analyzed photos showing progress on a new warship under construction in North Korea. It has been noted that this design strongly resembles one of the Russian frigates. There are suggestions that North Korea is building the ship based on technologies provided by Russia as compensation for assistance in the war in Ukraine.

The North Korean losses amount to almost 10 percent of the country’s deployment to Russia, the Biden administration said.

There are risks of North Korea sending additional troops and military equipment to the Russian army,” Zelensky said. “We will have tangible responses to this.”

North Korean troops have now entered Russia’s war with Ukraine in a major way, and some have been killed, Western officials say.

North Korea is preparing to deploy additional troops and weapons, including kamikaze drones, to aid Russia in its full-scale war against Ukraine, the South Korean military said on Dec. 23.

In one week there were more than a thousand North Koreans casualties in the fight with Russia against Ukraine. U.S. officials say they are sent into battle with little equipment or preparation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has reported significant battlefield losses among North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine, claiming they are left unprotected by Russian forces. The statement sheds light on the challenges faced by foreign troops supporting Russia in the conflict and raises questions about the treatment and coordination of allied forces on the front lines.
