In his daily video message on Sunday, the Ukrainian president said: “We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea. It is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces.”

Zelensky’s allegation comes amid an increasingly friendly relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea in June – the first visit of its kind for more than two decades – and Western observers have wondered how heavily North Korea has assisted Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    It will be interesting to see if N. Koreans start defecting after fighting for Russia.

      North Korean soldiers are already defecting in their own country… Let’s see what they do in Russia… Putin hate defectors and the end is very deadly

      I’m guessing that’s part of why they just blew up a bunch of roads between the two countries.

    Every dollar we give Israel to continue their genocide could have went to Ukraine, we could have squashed this invasion in months if we gave Ukraine what we give Israel.

      It would resemble the Second World War in a way.

      Both Early 20th century Germany and late 20th century Russia:

      • lost territory,
      • negotiated with the world about gradual annexations,
      • were in peril after economic shocks, but militarism built short-term growth

      I think you get the picture.

      This is how all world wars began. Major powers don’t start them with each other. That’s too dangerous. Instead they always let themselves get dragged into it by their proxy nations.

      I’m including the Peloponnesian War, which tore apart the Greek empire quite similarly to WW1 & 2. It didn’t start with Athens and Sparta directly.

    Just stop shooting at the N Koreans. Take them off the field and start feeding them. The dear leader will be taking them back off the battlefield in no time.
