A Chinese mercenary has shared details about North Korean soldiers allegedly killed shortly after they joined Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.
The information was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the account @whyyoutouzhele on Sunday, in a conversation between a gun-for-hire fighting alongside Russian forces, who goes by the handle “Dian Yuzhang,” and a mercenary who has returned to China and goes by the name Li Dafu.
These claims emerged just days after South Korea’s National Intelligence Service confirmed that North Korean troops had been training in Russia before being sent to bolster Russia’s diminished forces and help contain Ukraine’s counteroffensive in Russia’s Kursk region.
Troops with zero combat experience got mowed down by people who have been hardened by 2 years of battle? You don’t say.
It’s basically a Russian tradition
Russian culture is killing their own.
Record high estimated numbers of Russian casualties reported on the same day as well.
🤔
2 years? Ukraine has been fighting Russians since 2014.
Smaller scale back then but plenty of time to rotate soldiers and gain combat experience.
