Ukrainian forces have described the type of enemy, fighting with unfamiliar tactics and few characteristics to retreat.

Marc Santora went to the Russian border to meet with North Korea’s troops in Kursk. Helene Cooper reported in Washington.
The struggles of North Korea by Moscow in the Kursk region of Russia are being assigned to their own land plots for the assault. Unlike their Russian counterparts, they are advancing almost without armored cars in support.
When they attack, they do not avoid regrouping or retired, as the Russians do when they begin to suffer heavy victims, say Ukrainian infantry soldiers and US officials. In mind, they move under heavy fireplace through fields thrown by mines and send a wave of 40 or more troops.
If they enter a position, they are not verified to exit. They leave this to Russian reinforcements, while they retreat and prepare for some other assault.
They have also developed singular tactics and habits. When combating a drone, the North Koreans send out one soldier as a lure so others can shoot it down. If they are gravely wounded, they have been instructed to detonate a grenade to avoid being captured alive, holding it under the neck with one hand on the pin as Ukrainian soldiers approach.
Sent to Russia to register in Moscow’s troops in Kursk, North Koreans necessarily work as a different struggle force, said Ukrainian infantry men and US officials, different in the language, education and culture of the army.
“These are in two other infantry people who have never resulted or operated in combination and, in part, I think, the culture of the Russian military, which is, we will say, not very respectful of the capabilities and criteria and operations of the spouse’s forces. “Celeste A. Wallander, who until the day of the inauguration, was the Pentagon’s Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs.
