North Korea sent troops to clear mines in Russia’s Kursk region earlier this year, leader Kim Jong-un said in a speech carried on Saturday by state media, a rare acknowledgement by Pyongyang of the deadly tasks assigned to its deployed soldiers.
According to South Korean and western intelligence agencies, North Korea has sent thousands of troops to support Russia’s nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine.
Analysts say Russia is giving North Korea financial aid, military technology, food and energy supplies in return, allowing the diplomatically isolated nation to sidestep tough international sanctions on its nuclear and missile programmes.
Inb4 all the tankies show up and say this is Western propaganda while also including the same data in their arguments that NK is actually a totally free country and its citizens totally freely leave the country all the time and keep all the profit they make outside the country for themselves.
That they’re never exploited by their leader who also happened s to be democratically elected every year. But also he’s a dictator but only a dictator because its the West’s fault.
Also the concentration camps he sends his people to are the West’s fault too.
to support Russia’s nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine.
jesus, it really has been that long, hasn’t it?
No, military actions started with the occupation of Crimea in 2014. So not 3, but 11 years ago
Any agreement, treaty or capitulation will serve Russia a better staging point for its next “Special Operation”.
At this point when my daughter is a teenager she will probably start hearing about special military operations in Poland.
i knew russia’s military was trash but DAMN 11 years and they’re still in this quagmire? they make us americans look responsible
They did have a shoddy ceasefire agreement from 2015 onwards where the “little green men” totally not anything to do with Russia fought in Donbas, until Russia invaded properly again in 2022. So technically 11 years 9 months, but seriously only for around four.
Three days according to Russian time measurement
3.7 days. not great, not terrible.
How many scaramuccis?
Nothing to see here, comrade, just routine military exercise. Should take one weekend.
What, with their feet?
Both feet and brains deployed on the ground.
“Here’s your equipment” hands a pair of boots
Yes.
