Video footage and reports from the battlefield suggest they are being used to conduct ‘meat grinder’ assaults on Kyiv’s forces in Kursk Oblast. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X: ‘Even after years of war, when we thought the Russians could not get any more cynical, we see something even worse.

‘And now, after first combats with our warriors, Russians are trying to literally burn the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in battle.’. The wartime leader’s words follow Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade saying that North Korean ‘mercenaries’ had been ‘marching en masse into the meat grinder.’.
The brigade shared a video purportedly showing the reinforcements being mowed down as they carried out an assault in the open. Mr Zelenskyy added: ‘This is a demonstration of disrespect, which is currently prevalent in Russia, a disrespect to everything human.
