North Korea is ready to provide Russia with 100 thousand “volunteers” for the war against Ukraine

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.

Severing diplomatic relations with North Korea

On July 13, 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine announced breaking off diplomatic relations with North Korea due to the recognition of “independence” of the territories of Donbass temporarily occupied by the Russian army.

The Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the decision of the DPRK to recognize the so-called. “independence” of the territories temporarily occupied by Russia in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that this is an attempt to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine by Pyongyang, a gross violation of the Constitution of Ukraine, the UN Charter and the fundamental norms and principles of international law. The recognition by the North Korean regime of the “subjectivity” of the Russian occupation regimes in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions is null and void, will not have legal consequences and will not change the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.
