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.
I don’t even have a horse in this race, but it’s kinda crazy how badly people seem to want to believe this one crazy detail of an already unbelievable conflict
a: they’re paraphrasing zelenski there, and,
b:
They’re all reporting on the same tweet, it’s not surprising that none of them have been able to verify it
That really doesn’t change my point. All three articles give the same information.
Yea I don’t disagree. It’s just an incredible claim and it’s surprising that it’s apparently not being scrutinized much in the reporting.
People really want to take this as granted, and that’s kinda the point of manufactured consent.
