North Korean soldiers sent to fight Ukrainians on behalf of their ally Russia have been withdrawn from the front after suffering heavy losses , U.S. and Ukrainian sources cited by the New York Times revealed.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