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’m sure that the CIA backed Radio Free Asia doesn’t have a US bias slant
Come on! Say something about the USSR!
You’re not helping promote journalistic integrity.
All you’re doing is saying “it’s okay to be biased when it supports my side.”
Great comeback. When people are quoting the literal CIA funded outlet Radio Free Asia as a source, which is known for making outrageous claims against any enemy of America without evidence, say “Russia and China bad” and poof everything is proven.
3x3 Bingo? Please. 5x5 or go home.
…Man I miss State Department Bingo.
Trying to conflate the USSR and Russia is infantile
That’s why they’re listed separately I guess
It’s like they can’t read lol
You’re not wrong but you’re not right.
There is also video evidence of this
Cool. Here’s the newsweek article on the same thing that has a link to Zelensky’s Twitter post where he says the thing. https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-says-russian-troops-burning-faces-killed-north-korean-soldiers-2001980
Awesome.
Like NK soldiers are there and we know they’re there. This explanation doesn’t seem to pass the straight face test.
Newsweek is also trash, but for different reasons.
Also trash
I have a feeling that you would say any source with this information is trash by virtue of it having information you don’t like.
And you would be wrong, Newsweek is owned by right wing Christian fundamentalists and RFA is CIA propaganda
Go on. Now do the BBC.

Point where it says Russia is burning off their faces to keep it a secret
Seriously?
All you had to do was read the article and you didn’t bother because you’re too convinced you’re right and all of these sources are lying.
It’s not even a very long article.
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
… Are you saying there aren’t any north Koreans involved in the war?
Because at this point that is akin to denying the sun is warm.
Don’t waste your keystrokes to argue, it’s an .ml idiot.
That you’re trying to claim that I’ve said things that I did not. I’m saying that radio free Asia is CIA propaganda that puts a western slant on their propaganda.
Mentioning that in this context does give the distinct impression you want to cast doubt on the fact that NK conscripts are being employed by russia though. Why else would you mention that here?
It does, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its reporting is false.
Go back to .ml
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?
Something about a broken clock?
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.
Is this information here with us now?
If it were true it would exist in the real world, outside of your .ml echo chamber
Lemmy.world ironically talking about echo chambers?
Yea that OR the orcish orcs are orc(k?)ing…
Whatever makes the most sense to you I guess…
