North Korean Troops Deserting Ukraine Frontline Days After Arrival: Report
Newsweek ^ | 10/16/2024 | Jordan King

Posted on 10/16/2024 3:48:13 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Some 18 North Korean soldiers are believed to have deserted the Russian frontline, with Kremlin fighters reportedly searching for them.

The troops were deployed in Russia's Kursk and Bryansk oblasts, about four miles from the border with Ukraine, when they deserted, the public broadcasting company of Ukraine, Suspilne, reported.

Intelligence officials cited by the broadcaster said the Russian military is searching for the North Korean soldiers, while commanders are trying to conceal the desertion from their higher-ups.

It comes after reports that Moscow was planning to assemble a battalion of troops sent over by Kim Jong Un to help push Ukraine's forces out of Kursk.

Ukrainian outlet LIGA reported on Tuesday that the soldiers would be involved in combat missions in the country's Southwestern regions, where Russia is still battling Ukraine's incursion.

North Korean soldiers were set to form a "special Buryat battalion," named after the Mongolic ethnic group indigenous to the region spanning Siberia as well as northern Mongolia and China, sources quoted by LIGA said.

Russia’s taken back half of what the Ukranians took in Russia.

Plus close to 30 percent of Ukraine.

And the average Ukrainian soldier’s age is getting close to 50..or is it already 54ish?

Anyway, what will be will be.

I dunno, sounds like the Korean version of Hessians. The Count (fatboy) gets paid, the troops get fed, the North Korean Army gets valuable combat experience facing Western weapons. At lot of Hessians settled in Pennsylvania, preferring American freedom and opportunities to the old world.

Zero subscriber circulation NooseWeak.

The only possible outcome of any North Korean troops in Ukraine is More dead Ukrainians, and Fewer Russian casualties.

Just one NooseWeak propaganda piece closer to The Last Ukrainian Alive.

Take all the time you want.

Oyster Stew

This oyster stew is elegant and satisfying. I serve it hot, alongside some toasted homemade bread. Try adding a drop or two of hot sauce if you like — it’s delicious!

Oyster stew is a Christmas Eve tradition in many households, but you’ll want to serve this easy and hearty meal all year long.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Serves 4

Oyster Stew Ingredients

Though this oyster stew recipe is full of flavor, it comes together with surprisingly few ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

Vegetables: This easy oyster stew starts with sauteed celery and shallots.

Butter: The celery and shallots are sauteed in butter, ensuring a rich base.

Half-and-half: Half-and-half (or heavy cream, depending on what you prefer) creates a rich and creamy stew.

Oysters: It wouldn’t be oyster stew without fresh shucked oysters! Make sure not to drain the liquid.

Seasonings: The easy oyster stew is simply seasoned with just cayenne pepper and black pepper.

How to Make Oyster Stew

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this hearty oyster stew:

Sautè the celery and shallots in butter.
Heat the half-and-half, then stir in the sauteed vegetables.
Add the oysters and their liquid. Season to taste.
Cook until the oysters curl at the ends.

How to Store Oyster Stew

Allow the oyster stew to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.

I wondered from the beginning if NK troops wouldn’t stick around. They will quickly defect to a country pr-arranged to accept them. I saw such happen with the large defection of Cuban athletes at the Pan American Games in Cali, Columbia in 1971. The CIA did a great job of whisking them away to a assembly point in Central America.
