Hopefully he will soon come to his senses and see this is a war that he cannot win and he will seek peace.

Nobody takes your brand of peace which is actually surrender.

You're clearly referring to Putin. He's the one having to rely on...wait for it... North Korea!!!... to deal with his enemy, which is a fraction of the size of his own country and armed forces. If that doesn't smack of desperation, I'd like to know what does.
I'm thinking the US trying to invade Canada, getting bogged down for a couple of years, and then Washington turning to the Cubans to come and bail them out. LOL.

I think if Ukraine captures one of them it can be used as leverage to get something they want (permission for deep strikes on Russia, etc). Not sure I'd fire first on them though.
This could all be a sick prank by Russia and NK, with the sole intention of having Ukraine blow them up in Russia to trigger some response from NK. If everyone just ignores them instead, NK may send them home.

Both sides have accepted weapons from their respective allies, but only one has had to admit defeat in terms of begging a third-party to send combat troops to the front lines - because its own forces are either inept, ill-equipped, or too small in numbers...
The once proud Russian military - now so depleted that they are unable to dislodge the Ukrainians forces inside Mother Russia, and have to beg the North Koreans to do it...
That fact clearly highlights who is winning and who is losing...
And when confronted with this, the only comments you get from our Putin fans here is a lot of weak deflection and faux bluster...

There is a huge difference my dear fellow. The Russians pay for my arms and troops whereas Zelensky expects decent people from Western countries to fund him for free.

In the future, historians with 20/20 hindsight will say, “They should have . . .”
Fighto!
Hopefully each and every North Korean is liquidated - along with their scum Russian comrades. They deserve no less.

Not surprising - another weak deflection...
The fact that the "Great Russian Army" can't dislodge the Ukrainians on their own, and has to rely on the North Koreans to do it just causes them too much embarrassment and humiliation...
This is a clear acknowledgment from Putin and Russia that they have failed - and that neither he nor his military can defend Russian citizens and "protect the Mother Land"...
They have to "out-source" it...

All the deaths on both sides could most likely end soon after warmongering Putin withdraws his invading murderers from sovereign Ukrainian territory, plus gives up his and his totalitarian allies' goal of controlling not just former Soviet Union lands but also having an empire larger than the one once held by the Mongols. Putin envies not just Peter the Great and Stalin, but also Genghis/Chinggis Khan, Kublai and others that had devastated eastern European lands. The Kremlin's Eurasian Economic Union, and China's Belt and Road are current efforts to build the hegemony the totalitarians desire, 'back to the 10th century' is one of their cries, plus 'let's refight WW2' echoed by their global reactionary followers.

At least we can be certain it isn’t a proxy war then. Otherwise, Ukrainians, doing all of the work, absolutely are paying for it.

In other words send in NATO boots which is NOT gonna happen!?
Start talking, Sir.

Putin is not smart enough.
He will continue to drag russia into the dirt.
Hopefully sooner than later his underlings will rise up and take Putin out.
Gaining bits of ground in Ukraine is costing russia many lives and war material.
He probably has emptied all the prisons of volunteers for his invasion and now must rely on Kim to dig him out of the holes he is in.
Cause if he starts another recruitment drive, russians will finally stand up against him.
Even they can only take so much.
Massive loss of soldiers, inflation, russia invaded.

no, we are sending 100s of billions of dollars in aid and yet Zelensky can’t even handle a few thousand “supposed” North Koreans by himself?

The simplest solution for Zelenski is the pull out of Kursk as every indication by all the western analyst is that under the Russia North Korea agreement, NK troops are limited to inside Russia proper.
They will not be sent into the occupied Ukrainian areas.
A bonus for Ukraine would be it could then reinforce the southern areas they have been losing territory massively at an ever increasing rate.
While Ukraine wastes men, equipment and time in Kursk especially some of its best units, Russia is pounding away in Donetsk advancing at a pace far quicker than before.
The Kursk PR stunt is a failure like the 2023 summer offensive, time to admit that and start defending it's territory to the south.
All one has to do is look at a map, before Kursk Ukraine was holding strong in Donetsk, right after Kursk Ukraine lost multiple long standing strongholds one after another, and despite the start of the muddy season when normally things slow down or stop, Russia hasn't because resistance is so weak due to so many Ukrainian resources being diverted to Kursk.
Russia had more men more resources and this insane Idea that permission to fire deep into Russia is going to change anything is just that insane.
Western military have said Russia has 50,000 troops near Kursk that are sitting around not being used.
The instant Ukraine does what Zelenski say he wants, those troops and the rest of the 300,000 still not in the war will be sent in and that would really be an escalation.

I guess the 20,000 international legion, equipped by wester powers fighting for Ukraine are ghosts?
And they have been their long before the supposed NK troops!

Just as well because Russia lost over 40,000 troops just in October. These can replace them.

And not one sent officially by a NATO government.

Nobody rolls over just to please the bloodthirsty maniac in the Kremlin.
