Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Russian forces are burning the faces of dead North Korean soldiers to hide their involvement in Ukraine.

He says North Koreans are now being deployed in significant numbers, particularly in Russia’s Kursk region, where 200 have reportedly been killed or wounded.

The U.S. confirmed indications of North Korean casualties, while South Korea imposed sanctions on officials and entities involved in North Korea-Russia military cooperation.

    It’s not like DNA testing wouldn’t confirm they’re Koreans. They’re just wasting fuel doing this.

      A picture is worth 1000 words.

      Pictures of DNA don’t tell laymen much about who is involved.

        Idk a pic of 200 dead men with their face burned off might do something.

          Laymen will just think “war is hell” without considering who those people really were.
