President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that a massive number of North Korean troops deployed in Ukraine have been wiped out.
“A lot of Koreans have been killed… a large portion have been wiped out,” Trump stated during a press briefing at Mar-a-Lago, calling the war “senseless” and reiterating that it never would have happened if he were in office.
North Korea’s Shadow Army in Ukraine—What We Know
- At least 11,000 North Korean troops have reportedly been deployed to support Russian forces, primarily in the Kursk region.
- Roughly 4,000 of them—one-third—have been killed or wounded, according to Ukrainian estimates.
- Moscow and Pyongyang continue to deny that North Korean troops are involved, but Trump just shattered that narrative.
Trump’s Plan: “Russia Wants to Stop the Barbarism”
The President doubled down on his pledge to end the war, expressing confidence in Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Saudi Arabia.
“Russia wants to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism… their soldiers are being killed by the thousands on a weekly basis.”
Trump also made a grim comparison, likening the battlefield to Gettysburg, with gruesome death tolls the media refuses to report.
“I think people are going to be surprised at how many people, not only soldiers, have been killed in Ukraine.”
North Korea Won’t Back Down—Seoul Prepares for POWs
Despite huge losses, North Korea isn’t backing off. According to intelligence sources:
- North Korean troops pulled back in January but have since returned after additional training.
- They’re adapting to Ukraine’s deadly drone warfare, with smaller combat units and improved missile accuracy.
- Seoul is preparing to accept North Korean POWs captured in Ukraine, offering them sanctuary rather than sending them back to Kim Jong Un’s regime.
What’s Next? Trump’s Push to End the War
Trump is making it clear: this war is ending under his watch. While Biden’s weakness fueled global chaos, Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” strategy is already forcing major players to the negotiating table.
The world just got another reminder—Trump doesn’t just talk. He gets results.
