The Times, citing sources in Kyiv, claims that the first North Korean soldiers have died in the SVO zone
The head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, Andrey Kovalenko, told The Times that North Korean servicemen are already participating in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The official said that North Korean fighters have already suffered their first losses in the SVO zone.
The Kiev politician claims that Pyongyang has sent a limited contingent of military engineers to Russia to help use previously transferred North Korean weapons.
Kovalenko did not provide any details or supporting evidence. In his previous message on Saturday, he said the North Koreans were engineers sent to monitor the use of artillery shells supplied by Pyongyang.
– writes The Times.
The publication notes that Kovalenko's statement appeared immediately after reports from Seoul about the practical implementation of the agreement on comprehensive partnership between Russia and the DPRK. As part of the agreements, Pyongyang allegedly sent a certain number of military personnel to the conflict zone.
Citing Kyiv media, The Times reports that six North Koreans have already been killed in Donbass, and at least three more have been wounded. As is the tradition with Western media, the publication does not provide any definitive evidence.
