U.S. Cites ‘Indications’ North Korean Soldiers Died Fighting for Russia




The Pentagon has seen “indications” that the North Korean forces who have been sent to Russia to help the Kremlin in its war against Ukraine have suffered their first casualties, according to a U.S. official.

Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon spokesman, told reporters on Monday that the North Koreans had entered combat last week in the Russian region of Kursk.

Russia has been trying to recapture territory in the region after Ukraine seized parts of it in a surprise cross-border offensive launched in August.

“We do assess that North Korean soldiers have engaged in combat in Kursk,” General Ryder said. He added: “We do have indications that they have suffered casualties, both killed and wounded.”

Trump said he would meet with Putin, and the details were being arranged. “Could be very soon,” he said. “The war Ukraine and Russia should have never started,” he added. Reminded he had promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of being in office, he joked: “I have another half day left. We’ll see. We want to get it done.”

Trump said Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky had told him he wants to make a deal – an echo of recent comments from Kyiv they were open to diplomacy, provided it created a sustainable end to the war that is palatable to Ukraine. “Zelensky wants to make a deal,” he said. “I don’t know if Putin does. He might not. I don’t know.” The president’s assertion he wants to meet Putin suggests Trump thinks his interpersonal “art of the deal” may forge a diplomatic path.


 


People in Kyiv expressed a mixture of hope and scepticism on Tuesday that Donald Trump can end the war in Ukraine, as Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the US president as a “decisive” leader who would bring about a “just peace”.

Trump described himself as a “peacekeeper” who would avoid entangling the US in damaging foreign wars in his inauguration speech, but did not mention Ukraine, or explain how he might persuade Vladimir Putin to engage in negotiations almost three years after his full-scale invasion.

Speaking later to reporters in the White House, Trump claimed 1 million Russian soldiers had died in the war and suggested that it was in the interests of both sides to stop fighting. “He [Putin] is destroying Russia. He should make a deal. Zelenskyy wants to make a deal,” Trump said.

Ukrainians outside Lukianivska metro station in Kyiv the next morning – where a Russian missile killed three people on Saturday – said they were anxiously waiting to see what happened next. Behind them was the wrecked facade of an office building and a damaged branch of McDonald’s, the first in the Ukrainian capital.

Despite what that convicted crimnial, sex offender and ginger freakshow in the White House babbles this war isn't ending any time soon. Zelensky is much younger yet much smarter than that demented blob Trump he will outlast and outsmart both Donald and Vlad. :automatic:
