Russian propagandists claim that North Korean troops allegedly have “rich experience in counter-battery warfare”.
North Korea allegedly offered to send 100,000 of its troops to support Russia’s attempted invasion of Ukraine, according to Russian state television.
As the publication writes New York Postthe offer of the DPRK to provide military assistance to Russia could not be quickly verified, but it was picked up by a member of the public council under the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Korotchenko.
“There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are ready to come and take part in the conflict,” Korotchenko said on the air of one of the propaganda TV channels.
The Russian propagandist said that the North Koreans allegedly have “extensive experience in counter-battery warfare.”
“If North Korea expresses a desire to fulfill its international duty to fight Ukrainian fascism, we must allow them to do so,” Korotchenko blurted out.
The announcement of aid to North Korea comes as several Russian satellite states are already providing so-called “volunteer” forces. This, according to a number of Western intelligence analysts, indicates that Vladimir Putin lacks the political capital to announce mass mobilization within Russia.
