Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Russian forces are burning the faces of dead North Korean soldiers to hide their involvement in Ukraine.
He says North Koreans are now being deployed in significant numbers, particularly in Russia’s Kursk region, where 200 have reportedly been killed or wounded.
The U.S. confirmed indications of North Korean casualties, while South Korea imposed sanctions on officials and entities involved in North Korea-Russia military cooperation.
This would be great for defectors. Harder to tell who died and who found freedom.
Pretty sure the 4ft solders will be enough to identify as not Russian.
It’s not like DNA testing wouldn’t confirm they’re Koreans. They’re just wasting fuel doing this.
A picture is worth 1000 words.
Pictures of DNA don’t tell laymen much about who is involved.
Seems pretty fucking far fetched
But why north koreans and not any other foreign nationals they’ve conscripted/employed?
Because they are insisting the Koreans aren’t fighting so the countries that support Ukraine have plausible deniability and can say they don’t see signs of escalation, despite the fact that NK soldiers are fighting in Ukraine.
I’m sure that the CIA backed Radio Free Asia doesn’t have a US bias slant
… Are you saying there aren’t any north Koreans involved in the war?
Because at this point that is akin to denying the sun is warm.
That you’re trying to claim that I’ve said things that I did not. I’m saying that radio free Asia is CIA propaganda that puts a western slant on their propaganda.
Mentioning that in this context does give the distinct impression you want to cast doubt on the fact that NK conscripts are being employed by russia though. Why else would you mention that here?
Does it make you uncomfortable to hear information that you disagree with despite it being true?
That’s a very strange question for you to ask based on your rejection of information you disagree with.
If it were true it would exist in the real world, outside of your .ml echo chamber
Cool. Here’s the newsweek article on the same thing that has a link to Zelensky’s Twitter post where he says the thing. https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-says-russian-troops-burning-faces-killed-north-korean-soldiers-2001980
I have a feeling that you would say any source with this information is trash by virtue of it having information you don’t like.
Great comeback. When people are quoting the literal CIA funded outlet Radio Free Asia as a source, which is known for making outrageous claims against any enemy of America without evidence, say “Russia and China bad” and poof everything is proven.
