Ukraine, The New York Times: «Too many losses, North Korean soldiers withdraw from the Russian front»

North Korean soldiers sent to fight Ukrainians on behalf of their ally Russia have been withdrawn from the front after suffering heavy losses , U.S. and Ukrainian sources cited by the New York Times revealed.

North Korean troops, sent to reinforce Russian forces trying to repel a Ukrainian offensive in Russia's Kursk region, have not been seen on the front lines for about two weeks , said the officials, who requested anonymity.

There are "many opinions on this issue," including "false and distorting ones," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said , as reported by Interfax, but he declined to comment on the NYT article: "It is probably not appropriate for us to comment on these things every time. We will not do so."
