In the ongoing battle in the Kursk region, Russian forces have been desperately trying to stop the Ukrainian offensive at all costs, once again turning to their North Korean allies for help. This has not impressed the Ukrainians at all, as they have been swept away by another North Korean human wave, even after running out of ammunition. The main Russian goal is to prevent Ukrainian forces from penetrating deeper into strategic areas, in particular the larger village of Bolshoye Soldatskoye. If the Ukrainians were to take control of the sack, they would solidify their hold on the sack, complicating Russian logistics and making counteroffensives even more costly and ineffective. This is because many of the houses in Bolshoye Soldatskoye and the surrounding settlements provide excellent cover for both Ukrainian troops and their logistics, allowing them to spread out their forces more widely. The stakes are high, because Ukrainian consolidation in the area would make it much more difficult for Russian forces to cut off parts of the sack or encircle its northern part without suffering devastating losses. To achieve this goal, Russian commanders urgently moved North Korean forces from positions near Novoivanivka and Kruglienke to the eastern side of the sack. These forces were thrown into the counteroffensive to halt the Ukrainian advance. The hasty move underscores the growing desperation of the Russian military, which publicly claims to have everything under control but continues to rely on inexperienced foreign units to bolster its severely depleted ranks. Using North Korean infantry in massive wave attacks provides a temporary advantage for Russian forces. While outdated, these “meat waves” could slow the Ukrainian advance because it takes more time and effort to remove these massive numbers from the area. Such a delay could allow Russian forces to deploy reinforcements, using Bolshoye Soldatskoye as a logistical hub. But the flaws in this approach are obvious. The North Korean units, already battered and weakened by earlier clashes, also lacked the artillery and mechanized support necessary for a sustained fight because they were poorly integrated with Russian forces. As a result, they were forced to rely on infantry assaults against well-prepared Ukrainian mechanized units, a strategy doomed to failure. Ukrainian forces exploited the weaknesses of North Korean units. Equipped with advanced drone surveillance systems and electronic warfare systems, Ukrainian units meticulously dismantled enemy positions and intercepted counterattacks with surgical precision. North Korean units, already demoralized and poorly equipped, stood no chance. Even in cases where Ukrainian units ran out of ammunition, they found a brutal solution. One striking example comes from geolocated footage showing a Ukrainian Stryker armored fighting vehicle, operated by soldiers from the 80th Air Assault Brigade, physically running over enemy soldiers after they ran out of ammunition. The bold maneuver underscored the disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides, since even against Russian units, the Ukrainians would be immediately targeted by FPV drones or anti-tank weapons. The Ukrainian offensive in Kursk serves both military and political purposes. From a military perspective, the goal is to disrupt Russian operations around the Kursk sack and force Russia to redeploy troops from other critical fronts, such as Pokrovsk and Kurahovo. From a political perspective, the offensive is intended to expose the weaknesses of the Russian leadership and to stir up domestic discontent. Any Ukrainian victory in Kursk is a symbolic blow to the Russian leadership, undermining President Vladimir Putin’s image at home and abroad. Military experts estimate that the goals of the operation are 30 percent military influence and 70 percent political influence, reflecting Ukraine’s strategic approach to warfare.
