Last week, President Vladimir Putin made an official state visit to the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea (DPRK) – North Korea, his first for almost a quarter of a century. As part of that visit Putin and Kim Jong Un signed a so-called defense pact in the North Korean capital on June 19.
The military treaty states: “In the event that any one of the two sides is put in a state of war by an armed invasion from an individual state or several states, the other side shall provide military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay.”
In response to that Pyongyang announced early this week that it will be sending troops in the form of a military engineering unit to support Russian forces on the ground in the Donetsk region. The troops are expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as next month.

Excuse me, if I missed the part where Russia was invaded by Ukraine.
Yup, or by NATO
Did they get credit for the aircraft carrier set on fire by that ‘ace’ pilot?
This story was on the NHK streaming ap, the Japanese public broadcasting channel where they have reporters who do actual journalism.
The surviving widows and children could not even collect the contract wages because they couldn't "prove" their relationship to the deceased to the satisfaction of the Russian bureaucracy.
As everyone knows, it’s the unprovoked NATO attacks INSIDE Russia that constitutes the armed invasion.
That was my first thought.
They have been eating kimshe and dog food their whole lives.
Imagine IF they got to see a supermarket even in the Ukraine or Poland or the Check Republic. Much less made it to Slovenia or Austria.
They will be chewed up. Russia was considered to be number 3 in the world and have been decimated with over 500k dead and all their top armor gone. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the May Day parade where only 1 WWII T-34 was present.
You have some wrong information.
The last time this happened was with the Korean who was drafted by the Japanese to fight the Russians, captured by the Russians and put into the field against the Germans, captured by the Germans and sent to Normandy to fight the Americans and British.
The latest news is that they guy probably didn’t actually exist. Great story, though. It was made into a movie by South Koreans.
Paper tiger. They did have some quality units with their Spetsnaz and VDV paratroopers but they were all chewed up in the opening days of the invasion.
Zeepers may refer to them as Contractors.
When an ally provides the expenses paid mercenaries they should be called mercenaries, not some Ukrianian Line Item Budgeting and Accounting Debit/Credit naming convention.
The Merc’s or N.Korea too is no longer at Peace with the US.
Marxists see no difference. As long as the DNC remains in power, the place of women in One Nation Under God, they will continue to be dimished and unappreciated as humans but treated as potential Pranas’ schooled in self destruction.
The DNC has devolved into the Animal Kingdom. They emulate animals in all they say and do. They have fallen from Grace.
As Zeepers have started saying the past few weeks, it is simply American policy.
Yet, the deviancy of the pedifile, the homosexuals and mentally ill is not settled in US LAW or State LAW - it is controversial and thus should not be forced upon the World. Nor should Christian nations or peoples have to submit to this LAWLESS anti-Jewish/Christian philosophy. We export the deviancy as mandatory conditons for diplomatic agreements, financial aid, or membership in US led organizations.
Well, to be honest N.Korea has never really been treated any better than Russia is today. The US led sanction regime has collasped and only serves to isolate American’s in the marketplace and good standing by breaking our laws in order to steal money.
Anyone NOTICE that Obama/Biden never touched IRANIAN INTEREST OR MONEY? Funny thing happend on the way to the bank - the US decided it would steal from one nation, yet not another. The only exception might be the Lockerbie Airlines incident lawsuits or an occasion small amount as result of a legal judgment. Iran is probably also going to be robbed by the EU, but Obama’s and Kerry’s family in Islamofacistland are immune from robbery.
The way in the which Biden’s minion’s have handled Russian assets breaks all international law. It’s just another Bric (s) in the wall as they say. That game where you remove blocks and place blocks higher only to have the loser tip the tower says it all.
Don’t know what that means.
North Korea’s enormous coal deposits have flowed to Russia and China for years. And no doubt all sorts of US sanctions dodging processes as well.
Now they have a way to assert gratitude. And they do so.
It’s mostly PR, but I’m sure they can build some housing. There is some value in scrolling through youtube for tourist vids of No Korea. It’s not a bunch of starving people at all. Quite modern.
If you want the South Koreans to send a meaningful amount of military aid to Ukraine then this is the way to do it.
I can’t imagine that Putin would be so foolish as to help arm
and resupply Ukraine for the dubious help of North Korean soldiers.
These guys are fanatically ideologyly driven by 70 years of teaching children to kill GIs with bayonets. Cradle to the Grave hate last 80 years or until the generational cycle of 80 years breaks the cycle.
I am sure the Nork’s are chopping at the chance to eat all they want and actually act out their childhood instruction.
The real danger is that N. Korea has thousands of vehicles and rifles. Led by competent Russian Advisors from Special Ops (sound familiar to Vietnam), they will not be the screaming waves of men over running their enemies.
If only a few hundred it will pose no problem. However, if they send 10,000 or more, it is enough to use them to overrun the Ukrainian’s and route them at the point of contact.
Will we see North Korean Pilots and planes droppping FABs to gain real world experience.
At least they are not using accounting tricks to credit their deployment as Contractors.
After re-reading the article several things stand out.
Beyond the simple deployment of Engineer or Construction Units in the Donesk region, Kiev reports only 2 million artillery rounds. The actual number is already 4.75m and growing. The Nork’s product 6m rounds a year in peacetime - if they decide to ramp up production based on Russian and Western manufacturing of shell growth, they could get to 10m in 4-5 months and up to 18m in 18 months.
The second thing in the article is S.Korea is absent and the talk about treaties means Kiev is scrambling to find new partners in the case of a conflict with N.Korea - e.g., they are looking for S.Korea and Japan.
Kiev is going to argue that North Korea in a conflict triggers the equivalent of an Article 5 scenario. Asia knows Washington will never get to pivot from Ukraine in time to execute their 2025 China war talk.
Only Trump can prevent the next promised war form the NATO-CON/neo-con/DNC nexus.
In is going to send his half starved weak soldiers to fight?
Tucker says the US the US put “nuclear technology, presumably weapons, stored in the Nuke power plant Russia captured in a lightening operation. If any truth at all to those reports, Russia got wind and was forced into a state of self-preservation, which is their entire point.
Probably going to build extensive concentraton camps to house the captured or surrendering Ukrainian conscripts and regulars. From a logistical standpoint, unless the FABs actaully end up doing the vaporizing, Russia has her hands full just building positons/bridges, etc. Any help with construction is surely welcomed.
Finding a dead Azov Nazi on Donbas soil will suffice. C’mon, we know they are there. The Canadian Parliament celebrated a Ukrainian WaffenSS trooper just a few months ago. Got a standing applause.
Took a few days for some of the >85IQ Arsholes to figure out that fighting the USSR in WW2 meant that the dude was a Nazi.
