Details
We have worked for a long time to say not generically about how many North Korean military personnel, ordinary officers, and privates all arrived together on the territory of the Russian Federation to fight against Ukraine. We have a figure of about 12 thousand. we have information that there are already dead and wounded among the North Korean military, but I have no figures. As of today, there are no such statistics. I don't want to lie... I don't know, there must be evidence. There is concrete evidence about 12 thousand, we can see it. This is, as you know, trains with North Korean weapons are coming, when we see dozens of MLRS systems coming, when we see hundreds of heavy equipment vehicles coming to fight against us specifically from North Korea. When we see rockets and see details of rockets that hit and killed our people and children
He stressed that Russia hits missiles exclusively at civilian infrastructure.
When we do not see and have details that it was produced by North Korea, then here I talk about it openly, as well as about millions of artillery shells. If we see figures that only 3.5 million artillery shells from North Korea were transferred to the Russian Federation against the war with us this year, if we see that they expect several million more in 2025... we can see this from the documents, then I am ready to share this information
recall
According to intelligence data, 2 thousand North Korean troops were sent to the Marine Brigade and Airborne Division of the Russian Federation, which will mean three options for the development of events: either they will participate in active combat operations on the territory of Ukraine, or the Russian Federation, or they will remain in the combat reserve on the second line.
