First clash on the front between Ukraine and North Korea  - 1

For the first time, the Ukrainian army engaged in direct combat with the North's troops at the front, Ukrainian media reported, citing military observers.

The head of the Counter-Disinformation Center of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Andriy Kovalenko said that North Korean troops have already engaged the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region.

For the first time since North Korea sent its soldiers to Russia, the Ukrainian army fired directly at them.

On August 6 this year, the Ukrainian army carried out a surprise invasion of the Kursk region, bringing the war to Russian territory. Kiev indicated that it has the right to such actions against the Russian army, which in February 2022 began a full-scale war.

North Korea has sent thousands of its soldiers to Russia to join Vladimir Putin's war. Kiev called on the Western countries to take immediate measures, because for the first time a regular army of a third country enters the conflict.

The first few thousand troops from North Korea are already near the border with Ukraine, and Ukrainians will be forced to defend themselves against them, and the world will once again be watching, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He also indicated that the entire logistics chain between the Russian Federation and North Korea, which fuels Russian aggression, must be blocked. According to him, this depends in particular on the strong nations in Asia, including China.
