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.

          You see, Ukraine is starting to rethink the idea of not having nuclear weapons and that makes them bad, unlike nice and friendly Russia who already have all the nuclear weapons they need and have Orthodox priests bless them on the regular.
