RUSSIA has suffered its deadliest day of war yet again after pushing thousands of North Korean troops to the frontlines to fight against Ukraine.
Putin’s army has lost more than 2,200 troops over the past 24 hours, but the brutal dictator is hellbent on sending more men to the meatgrinder war.

This brings the total casualties on the Russian side to 770,420.
Russia’s staggering death toll marks the Russian tyrant’s most damaging period of his over 1,000-day-old conflict so far.
The previous highest was 2,000 on November 29.
Troops from Pyongyang have suffered “several hundred” casualties while fighting in the last few weeks, according to the White House and US military.
One US official said: “Several hundred casualties is our latest estimate that the DPRK has suffered.
“This includes everything from… light wounds up to being KIA [killed in action].”
New drone videos have been released by Ukraine‘s military claiming to show North Korean fighters (DPRK) on the front line and the bodies of slain Russian and Korean soldiers stacked together.
Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence separately confirmed North Korea had suffered “significant losses” over two days of fighting and that “at least 30 soldiers were killed and wounded”.
One video is said to show the bodies of dozens of dead Korean soldiers laid out by Putin’s forces after the weekend’s major clash in the Kursk region.
A number of corpses can be seen lying side-by-side under a dusting of snow with their faces covered.
Another, released by Ukraine’s Khorne Group, claims to show North Koreans hiding in snow-covered woodland and firing guns.
The soldiers in the video can be seen cowering from the drones flying above them while holding large weapons.
A spokesperson for the Khorne Group said: “The long-awaited North Koreans.
“Weakness and bravery are their tactics, their trump card is good fitness.”
They said the soldiers were “applying the same tactics as 70 years ago,” alluding to the Korean War.
A third video released by 95th Air Assault Brigade shows soldiers it identifies as DPRK fighters hiding amongst vast snowy fields and lobbing missiles at the overhead drones.
