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.
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”.
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?
Yes.
