N KOREAN SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN RUSSIA?

Ukraine, NATO, US, and S Korea repeatedly claimed North Korean soldiers were fighting for Russia in Kursk to rally public support for the Biden admin allowing Ukraine to fire long-range ATACMS into Russia.

Now the allies state that N Korean troops have not been seen in combat for three weeks.

Were N Korean soldiers ever there in the first place? Multiple major news outlets reported “no soldiers who talked to [our journalists] had encountered [N Koreans] in battle.” Zelensky's "evidence" was also full of inconsistencies, implausibilities, and based on unverified videos.

There have always been reports about this, with various videos, photos, and even handwritten letters from North Korean soldiers. However, nothing has been officially confirmed. I have reported this multiple times here.

Last news we saw related to this.

But we continue monitoring. 🫡🚀

Do you have any non-Ukraine ally sources?

The only possible credible evidence that I could find was an alleged N Korean POW being interrogated by Ukraine military speaking in his native language. But there are too many Russians who could be mistaken for N Koreans (including language) and it just isn't enough proof anyway.

There are plenty of alleged photos and images circulating social media but all are unverified or unconfirmed by major news networks, third parties, or investigative journalism.

i really appreciate you both for your commitment to truth

I personally did in an depth investigation on this news story (publishing my reports with documentation on Bluesky) and found no credible evidence that N Korean troops were in combat for Russia up until January 2025.

I was following you until you posted legacy media news. no thanks.

Responsible Statecraft, a non-profit opposed to the military-industrial complex and foreign funding, is far from legacy media, while maintaining a trusted reputation. I have the highest respect for its co-founder, Trita Parsi.

With that said, even legacy media can offer vital information, and RS isn't perfect, especially with its funding sources.

Highly recommend this well-researched article:

Also in this case, I was using Legacy media to show how Legacy media was wrong by regurgitating US-Ukraine war propaganda without question. But I'm not above using any sources, as long as they provide information.

Legacy media is dead to me, and NYT is one of the absolute worst institutions on the planet. I was apprecating your posts, but I avoid it and you should too.
