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.
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
That really doesn’t change my point. All three articles give the same information.
