Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that over 250,000 soldiers have been killed in Kursk region.
Volodymyr stated this development in a post on his official X handle.
“As of now, over 250,000 North-Korean soldiers have been killed in the Kursk region.” the post read.
“Ukraine is not to be mistaken as weak.”
His claims come amid the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, a crisis that has led to loss of many lives and destruction of properties.
Recently, Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin had noted that he is ready to engage in talks with United States President elect, Donald Trump.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, had on Thursday expressed his readiness to engage in talks with United States President-elect, Donald Trump, “at any time” regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
This comes as Trump has claimed he can broker a peace deal within hours of taking office, sparking concerns in Kyiv that Ukraine may be forced to accept unfavorable terms.
During his annual end-of-year press conference, Putin asserted that Russian troops have the upper hand on the battlefield, with his only regret being not initiating the offense sooner.
Asked about Trump’s overtures regarding a possible peace deal, Putin said he would welcome a meeting with the incoming Republican.
“I don’t know when I’m going to see him. He isn’t saying anything about it. I haven’t talked to him in more than four years. I am ready for it, of course. Any time,” Putin said.
“If we ever have a meeting with President-elect Trump, I am sure we’ll have a lot to talk about,” he said, adding that Russia was ready for “negotiations and compromises”.
Russia’s troops have been advancing in eastern Ukraine for months, with Putin repeatedly touting their prowess on the battlefield.
But asked by a woman from the Kursk region when residents would be able to return to their homes thereafter thousands were evacuated from frontline areas amid the Ukrainian assault, Putin said he could not name a date.
“We will kick them out. Absolutely. It can’t be any other way. But the question of a specific date, I’m sorry, I cannot say right now,” he admitted.
Putin was also pressed on economic headwinds facing Russia — the fallout from a huge ramp-up in military spending and deep labour shortages caused by the conflict.
He insisted that the situation is “stable, despite external threats”, citing low unemployment and industrial growth.
Asked about soaring inflation, Putin said that “inflation is a worrying signal,” and that price rises for foods such as butter and meat are “unpleasant”.
As of now, over 250.000 North-Korean🇰🇵 soldiers have been killed in the Kursk region.
Ukraine is not to be mistaken as weak.
