The General Staff reported this yesterday, January 6.
Yesterday was exactly five months since the start of the Ukrainian army's offensive in the Kursk Oblast. The operation is still ongoing, forcing the russians to keep large forces in the region and suffer losses.
According to the General Staff, in five months the russian troops have lost over 38,000 people, of whom 15,000 were killed.
Troops of the Korean National Army were directed to the Kursk Oblast, sent by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to assist russian dictator vladimir putin.
It is reported that out of 12,000 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk Oblast, about 4,000 people were killed. Some units, where servicemen from North Korea were stationed, lost combat capability.

- special equipment - 32.
The Ukrainian military also managed to shoot down 859 russian drones of various types.
It was emphasized that during the operation in the Kursk Oblast, 860 soldiers of the russian army were captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This made it possible to return several hundred servicemen, who were in captivity, to Ukraine.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on January 5, russian propagandists, military bloggers, and Z-channels announced that a new offensive by the Ukrainian army had begun in the Kursk Oblast.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine did not comment on this information.
The russian statements were partially confirmed by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation Andrii Kovalenko and the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak.
On the evening of January 5, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that 42 combat clashes had occurred on the front line. The command also did not confirm the information about the new offensive, but did not deny it either.
As a reminder, russian state media and local authorities did not tell the russians about the new offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk Oblast.
