The DPRK soldiers are expected to be used in the fight for the Kursk region of Russia

Summary

North Korean troops sent to Russia to support its war in Ukraine remain sidelined due to poor training and logistical issues, according to Western officials.

These soldiers are expected to relieve Russian troops in secondary positions to free up forces for frontline battles in regions like Kursk, though they are unlikely to see combat in eastern Ukraine.

The war continues to take a massive toll, with over 700,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded since February 2022, while both sides face challenges replacing losses.

Russia’s reliance on poorly trained recruits and prison conscripts highlights its growing manpower issues.

    Can you actually grow up with a calorie deficit? That term means burning more calories in the day than you take in. You can’t do that your whole life.

      I’m no expert, but i suppose there isn’t really much grow when growing up with a deficit.

      Calorie deprivation on the other hand…

        I guess I’m bringing my own associations to it. I’ve dieted for weight loss where deficit meant intake versus burn. But I guess there’s no reason deficit couldn’t also mean intake versus healthy required amount.
