The first DPRK military units that have been trained at eastern Russian training grounds have already arrived in the Kursk Region. Their appearance there was recorded on 23 October.
This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
The DPRK army soldiers are being trained at five military training grounds located in the east of Russia - Baranovsky (Ussuriysk), Donguz (Ulan De), Yekaterinoslavsky (Yekaterinoslavka), 248th ( Knyaze-Volkonskoye) and 249th (Sergeevka).
It takes several weeks to coordinate the military from the DPRK, which Russia intends to use in the war against Ukraine. The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said that the total number of North Korean troops is now about 12,000, including 500 officers, including three Pyongyang generals. ‘Moscow has appointed Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov as the person responsible for overseeing the training and adaptation of the DPRK troops. The soldiers sent by Pyongyang are provided with ammunition, bedding, winter clothing and footwear, as well as hygiene. In particular, Moscow will provide each North Korean with 50 metres of toilet paper and 300 grams of soap on a monthly basis, according to the established norms,’ the intelligence service said.
