Engineers said to be supporting missile launches and reports of North Koreans killed near Donetsk

North Korean military engineers have been deployed to help Russia target Ukraine with ballistic missiles, and North Koreans operating in occupied areas of Ukraine have already been killed, senior officials in Kyiv and Seoul said.

There are dozens of North Koreans behind Russian lines, in teams that "support launcher systems for KN-23 missiles", a source in Ukraine told the Guardian.

Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, last year travelled to Russia for a summit with Vladimir Putin where the two men bolstered their deepening ties with a secret arms deal.

Pyongyang's ammunition shipments were vital in allowing Russian forces to advance in a grinding war of attrition in eastern Ukraine this summer. But it appears increasingly clear that the agreement went beyond supplying materiel.

Ukraine gets help from its allies: I sleep

Russia gets help from its allies: 😡😡

The cognitive dissonance of Lemmy users.

This you? Immediate block. Shame on you for supporting a mass murdering, civilian butchering, raping, children bombing, war regime.

It’s okay to be proud of Russian culture and celebrate heritage. It’s not okay to support a war of conquests where children are stolen and civilians are slaughtered.

Please stick to the topic instead of bringing up Kamala Harris.

Someone who has a different opinion that mine! Immediately blocked!

My echo chamber is almost… ready!! 🤗

Calling it a "different opinion" is an attempt to shut down any criticism of your disgusting lack of humanity. It's like when Republicans call being a racist, xenophobic piece of shit a "different opinion".

Don't bother replying, I'm not making this comment to try to convince you. I'm saying this to point out the tactic to anyone else who may be reading this.

You can see me criticizing Russia in the same comment thread; I believe that Russia is committing war crimes that I do not support but Ukraine is siding with states which are committing whatever Russia is committing with impunity

there goes my support for Ukraine

The commenter I replied to didn‘t even have a conversation with me.

Also both republicans and democrats are racist, xenophobic, sexist, genocidal maniacs. Don‘t compare me to North Americans.

That is idiotic lmfao.

Regardless of anything. Ukraine was invaded and is the smaller state being targeted by a much bigger state in population, economy, everything. Ukraine has every right to accept any help it can get.

But you're gonna say you don't support Ukraine because they'll accept aid against a supposedly stronger opponent?

You are fake and also a homosapien.

Where did I write that Ukraine shouldn‘t accept the help? Putting words into my mouth?

Also I didn‘t insult you (or anyone in this thread in fact) so throwing in digs like that is a sign of your education or lack thereof.

Dumb dumb dumb

Ukraine is siding with states which are committing whatever Russia is committing with impunity

there goes my support for Ukraine

Don't play this "I didn't say the exact magic words so I never said it at all" game with me. Everyone reading this sees your messaging. Ukraine sided with nobody, Ukraine was attacked and is the victim.

Only idiots think there are two sides to an inexcusable invasion based on lies. Go put your helmet back on

[-] McDropout@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Your critical analytical skills aren‘t the best. I never said that Ukraine shouldn‘t accept the aid. But just like Ukraine is accepting aid from questionable states like Germany, Poland, USA. Russia can get aid from questionable states like China and North Korea.

But the first category of questionable countries are there to protect the world, spread freedom and democracy!! While the latter are bad bad bad terrible guys.

you literally said that nobody is fooled
