Britain's defense ministry said about 1,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed and around 3,000 more wounded fighting against Ukraine.

The losses represent over a third of the approximately 11,000 North Korean troops deployed in Kursk Oblast. The high casualty rate has severely degraded the ability of North Korean forces to conduct offensive operations in support of Russia's attempts to push Ukrainian forces out of Kursk Oblast.

Russia has responded to the recent ultimatum issued by the U.S., urging an end to the war in Ukraine. This ultimatum came from Donald Trump, who called on Russia to engage in peace talks or face severe consequences.
