North Korea is now sending troops to fight and die in Ukraine alongside Russian soldiers, according to Seoul’s defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun.

Kim told South Korean politicians on Tuesday it was "highly likely" six North Korean officers were killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on Donetsk last week.

"We assess that the occurrence of casualties among North Korean officers and soldiers in Ukraine is highly likely, considering various circumstances," Kim said, adding that they expect Pyongyang to send more soldiers to Russia in the near future.

"The relations between Russia and North Korea are evolving to be almost as close as a military alliance," he said. "As such, more North Korean troops could be deployed in the war, from how we look at it."

Russia is looking everywhere to relieve its manpower shortage - including to its fellow Axis of Evil allies.

Wouldn’t that make it a World War?

Hmm. I wonder if Kim is sending his “best” troops, or... another grade of soldiers.

Outside of those directly involved or who have family or other connections to either side, is there anyone who really cares about the Russia/Ukraine war? I suppose there are, but I know I don’t.

I mentioned on another thread yesterday - given the mix of officer to enlisted 6-7 vs 4-3 and that this attack was behind the front lines it is most likely that these soldiers were there to turn over and train the Russians on equipment that the NK were providing to the Russians.

There is nothing to indicate that the NK troops are actively participating in combat operations yet.

This must be confusing for Kamala Harris. Why are our North Korean allies fighting our friend, Ukraine?

Just kidding. She is unlikely to be paying attention.

Ukrainians are nationalists.
Putin is a pos communist loving murderer.

And I don’t even care until Trump is elected.
