The Times, citing sources in Kyiv, claims that the first North Korean soldiers have died in the SVO zone

40

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.

    In the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR, there lived quite a few Soviet Koreans (in my kindergarten, at school, at the institute, there were classmates and schoolmates of our local Korean guys, not "North Korean" at all, very hard-working, diligent and assiduous in their studies, good reliable comrades!) and, among them were those who had ancestors from the pre-war united Korea!
    So, even if Russian fighters of Korean nationality died in battle with the Bander-Nazis, it is difficult to say from which part of the now divided Korea their “roots” are!
    And the Goebbels-bitches, the "tsipsoshniks", from the servants of the Kyiv "zh/dobanderites" - Washington's lackeys, just want to "crow, and then even if it doesn't dawn!"

      There are many Koreans living in the Sakhalin region, children and grandchildren of those Koreans who were driven to Sakhalin by the Japanese as slave labor! After the collapse of the USSR, some elderly Koreans returned to South Korea at the invitation of the South Korean government. They were provided with benefits, privileges... But still, many Koreans remained in the Russian Federation... mostly young people who were born, grew up, received an education, prosperity, "started" a business in Russia! But there are elderly Koreans who, having visited South Korea, returned back to Russia, to Sakhalin for example...

        Well, who received citizenship among us... Depardieu... If you see him in the DPR or LPR, they will say that there is a limited contingent from France on the Russian side.

      In Crimea and Ukraine, Korean workers worked growing onions and garlic. The grazers walked around with small tsapki all day long. The party was sure that the country did not have enough onions and garlic.
      Their families remained in the DPRK and, according to rumors, their salaries went there too. They slept in tents or wherever the collective farm chairman assigned them. But the onion, I note, was excellent.

    If they sent it, then well done, finally! If they sent a hundred thousand, that would be good.
    Let the Koreans learn how to fight against the bourgeois fascists in a modern way! It is useful for them and a help to us.

      Then retaliatory assistance to expel Japanese and American bases and specialists from the South of the Korean Peninsula???
      A debt is paid with payment. And China signed guarantees.
      Passed already ...
      By the way, Kim Jong-un assured the people of Korea that the reunification of the country will take place during the lifetime of the current generation. soldier hi stop

        And even if they were to help clear Okinawa of Americans, I don't see anything wrong. Let the Japanese know who they've been yapping at for 80 years. But this is from the category of Western fascist horror stories! According to them, we and their Gayropa are desperately in need!
        The North Koreans don't need not only the Japanese, but even South Korea. They don't want to unite with the bourgeois American serfs. It is precisely South Korea that advocates this.

    No one ever provides evidence in the media. What nonsense, how can you provide any evidence in words? Swear that it is true? The presence of the Koreans is very likely and completely understandable, since they are supplying weapons.

    The Ukrainians shouldn't offend the Koreans.

    The Koreans actually considered helping Russia in this conflict with manpower...
    But "our" "Russians"... from workers and students, to civil servants and deputies... thousands who racked their brains on how to get out of mobilization, and they don't want to talk about this topic, answering that this is not their war...?
    I witnessed myself how a 45-year-old "father" taught his son over the phone how to get out of it. Hundreds go to work on a shift and don't take their military IDs with them........
    So think about it after this... Who is more Russian - a Korean or a "Russian"
