North Korean troops are now positioned in the Kharkiv region, being prepared for intense assaults.

In the Kharkiv direction, military personnel from North Korea have already been observed accumulating at the front line of confrontation.

This was reported during a telethon by the commander of the combined unit 153 OMb, Nazar Kishak, as conveyed by "Dumka".

North Korean troops are already present in the Kharkiv direction, both at close and long distances. The commander did not disclose the number of these troops but noted that the Koreans are gathering, forming units, and building up at the front line.

"Bad weather is the best time to carry out assault actions. Winter, cold, heavy rain, and wind should hinder the Armed Forces of Ukraine from monitoring the situation with drones, but this is not the case; there are observation points, and everyone sees and hears what is happening around the positions," the commander stated.

According to Kishak, a couple of undamaged tanks and motor blocks, along with pickups, constitute the entire heavy equipment that the Russians have in the Kharkiv direction, unlike in Kupiansk, where the occupiers are launching assaults using more heavy weaponry.
