Claims have to be supported by links. Forum rules. Else, it’s just made up nonsense.

Given that in 2023 the UK spent 4.3 billion pounds on asylum seekers and that the Ukrainian armed forces are short of manpower it would be useful to both the UK and Ukraine if all the asylum seekers were sent to fight for Kiev.  Talk about kill two birds with one stone !  For those that serve an insentive could be given. Full pay ( they want to work don't they ) plus a bonus that they can take back home with them when the war is over. Win win .

 

My point is that in the event of a cut in funding from the USA Ukraine should not be abandoned to its fate for want of cash. Billions are being spent all over Europe dealing with asylum claimants. Why should'nt they fight for the right to remain in Europe. ?

I like the idea of sending illegal immigrants to fight for Ukraine, but oppose sending any taxpayer money there. Taxpayer money should be spent on the health service and ambulance drivers, not killing people. If the government wants to spend the citizens money on bullets they should declare war on Russia.

You probably have some kind of profession. How do you feel about newbies with zero experience in your profession? They are a burden, aren't they? It's the same with volunteers without combat experience. A military career is very similar to any other. People without experience are a burden there - any military man will tell you that.

LOL. Do you know anything about the army? The illegals could be used to dig trenches and transport supplies, which would free up Ukrainians to do the fighting. Any fit person can dig a trench and the illegals seem to be mainly fit young men.

True indeed. But their is thing called training these days. 6 weeks drilling , first aid,weapons and tactics. All armies have this. Even Ukrainian troops were sent to the UK for combat training.

LOL. If you think 6 weeks drill prepares anyone for a combat role I have a bridge for sale cheap. Having been there done that, it's just the first stage for all arms, even cooks and bottle washers. After that the real training begins and it's not a couple of weeks running around the training ground.

 

Tactics? Seriously?

South Korea has provided documentation as per its press release;

https://www.nis.go.kr/CM/1_4/view.do?seq=320

 

The National Intelligence Service announced on October 18,that North Korea began moving special forces for dispatch to Russia on October 8.

- In August 2024  South Korean NIS  recorded Kim Jong-sik, first vice director of the Munitions Industry Department, a key figure in North Korea's missile development, visiting a North Korean KN-23 missile launch site near the Russian-Ukrainian front several times with dozens of North Korean military officers and providing on-site guidance.

 

- Between Oct. 8  and Oct. 12, the NIS recorded North Korea transporting special forces to Russian territory via a Russian naval transport ship, confirming the start of the North Korean military's participation in the war.

 

- South Korea's NIS  reports that four landing ships and three escort ships belonging to the Russian Pacific Fleet completed the first transport of approximately 1,500 North Korean special forces from the areas near Chongjin, Hamhung, and Musudan (Attachment 1) to Vladivostok, Russia during the same period, and a second transport operation is scheduled to take place soon.

 

- The North Korean soldiers dispatched to Russia are currently stationed at Russian military bases in the Far East, including Vladivostok, Ussuriysk (Appendix 2), Khabarovsk (Appendix 3), and Blagoveshchensk, and are expected to be deployed to the front lines as soon as they complete their adaptation training.

 

- Kim Jong-un inspected the special forces twice prior to the deployment, on the 11th of last month and the 2nd of this month (Attachment 4).

 

- The North Korean soldiers were issued Russian military uniforms and Russian-made weapons, and were also issued fake ID cards of residents of the Yakutia and Buryatia regions of Siberia (Appendix 5) who looked similar to North Koreans. It appears that they disguised themselves as Russian soldiers to hide the fact that they were deployed to the battlefield.

 

- The NIS has documented its estimate that North Korea had provided Russia military weapons and munitions amounting to over 13,000 containers (Attached Files 6 and 7) on approximately 70 occasions since August of 2023.

 

- The NIS says that it is confirming the observation by foreign media  regarding ‘direct military cooperation between Russia and North Korea’

Russia is  trying to start WW III with the use of North Korean personnel. These foreign military personnel should be stopped at the  source.

Actually, there’s no evidence of NK troops. Even Mark Rutte said as much. It’s just western propaganda.

 

you gotta be kidding or you better.

 

havent you seen the videos NK soldiers getting uniforms under russian flags? or other videos.. or you were closing your eyes at that time?

 

[problemfarang]

To make it clear 

i am a alive eye witness that i saw NK equipment in Ukraine. 

i dont know about other parts but yes i saw them in Kurks, i clearly state that i took some NK things from dead russian bodies by myself or by other squad members. So anyone who is saying NK not sending anything is just.. well you name it.

also i must add that i saw many latin alphabet written russian materials too. so some how they are still getting EU materials. 

about NK soldires. im pretty sure that i will fight against them when i get back in 2 weeks. After Ahmet and Kadirov battalion tiktoker jokers.. lets see about NK elite soldiers.. 

PS: you should see how Ahmedov and Kadirov soldiers running away. We even took some of them as POWs

but i must say the new group arrived to kursk of russian soldiers are better. they also equipped real good. 

 

if you guys have any questions i can answer

Asian looking soldiers getting Russian uniforms mean just that - Asian looking soldiers getting Russian uniforms. They could be from Central Asian Stan countries. That's not proof that NK soldiers are fighting for Russia. For all we know, they could be mercenaries. You yourself have confirmed mercenaries fighting for Ukraine. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander, isn't it? I don't see what the problem is and why this should be a red line (other than as a desperate move by the west).

I'm sure there are materials and equipment from all over the world. North Korean, Chinese, Iranian, European, maybe even British and American. It's a lucrative business after all.

 

You said you are willing to answer questions. Are you being paid to fight for Ukraine? If not, are some of the others from countries you've mentioned like Columbia, Georgia etc?

You're triggered because Russia is so desperate for man power its had to go cap in hand to NK.

 

Even the agreement they ratified a few days ago where is was made clear that they will help each other if there is a war you are ignoring. Link already posted.

Why is foreign military personnel ok for Ukraine but not for Russia? Not double standards surely? 

 

Maybe the NK  troops are just going there to observe and for training. After all, plenty of NATO personnel have been in Ukraine for this purpose.

Nah. I'm not triggered. Doesn't bother me either way. Not my war. What bothers me is hypocrisy and double standards and disinformation.

 

The agreement between Russia and NK is not unlike Article 5. Russia was invaded by a 3rd country so it's not unexpected if NK sends support to Russia.

From the article;

Prof Hazel Smith, a leading UK expert on North Korea at SOAS University, advised caution over Seoul’s claim that special forces could soon be deployed to Ukraine. She noted that some of its previous intelligence assessments had turned out to be “spectacularly wrong.”

 

And there you have it lol

When they were wrong before had Russian channels filmed the actual North Korean soldiers?

 

The expert also does not dispute the claim of normal North Korean troops, only the special forces. 

 

So there you have it  lol
