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.

      Does it make you uncomfortable to hear information that you disagree with despite it being true?

        That’s a very strange question for you to ask based on your rejection of information you disagree with.

          It’s not a matter of disagreeing with it, the sole purpose of RFA and RFE is propaganda

            And yet it could still be true information that you’re disagreeing with simply because the source is propaganda. You do understand that propaganda and falsehoods are not the same thing, yes?

                Would that ‘broken clock’ include the BBC article I gave you a link to? Just out of curiosity. You don’t seem to have dismissed it as propaganda.

                  The BBC article doesn’t make the false claim of Russia burning off their faces to keep it a secret.

                    It literally does.

                    It’s pretty damn foolish of you to deny the contents of an article are in the article twice.

            They are talking about .ml unironically, outright saying the truth - that .ml is a pure tankie propaganda instance and 99% of the time someone from there comes out to spout unsupported claims, get into a “PROVE MY EXTRAODINARY CLAIMS AREN’T TRUE” argument, loses it immediately and still tries to excuse a murderous regime literally melting the faces of their soldiers so they couldn’t be recognized by anyone.

              Victims of US propaganda always view themselves as immune to propaganda. But feel free to continue believing the comforting lies you are told.

                Uh huh, meanwhile you are the “enlightened one” immune to any propaganda.

                Dude, I saw firsthand what ruskies do to people and countries. I don’t need an edgy teen going “no, u” thinking they have anything worthy of writing out.

                  I’m betting you are under the assumption that I am defending Russia. Being critical of bullshit lies from US propaganda is not an endorsement of the other side.
