Ukraine has accused the Kremlin and its soldiers of plenty of heinous acts throughout the war. The latest accusation involving soldiers from both Russia and North Korea may even rank up with the Bucha massacre if proven true.

By disfiguring their remains, Zelenskyy said Russia is trying to hide the number of North Korean casualties suffered during Russia’s meat wave attacks near Kursk Oblast in southern Russia.

Ukrainian intel reports show, and the drone video from the frontlines seems to confirm, North Korean soldiers are being ordered to launch sporadic attacks along the frontlines near Kursk, often with no armored vehicles or cover of any kind.

While soldiers from North Korea may be new to the conflict Russia started almost three years ago, Ukraine’s drone operators are not. So, picking off North Korean troops has not proven too difficult for Ukrainian veterans so far.

During one round of attacks, Ukraine drone operators reportedly killed around 50 North Korean soldiers and injured 50 others.

Some North Korean soldiers are apparently getting medical attention in Russian hospitals. But now, those unfortunate enough to die on the battlefield may be subjected to further abuses at the hands of their allies.

President Zelenskyy called it another sign of Russia’s disrespect “for everything human.” Zelenskyy said this madness must be stopped by a reliable and durable peace. He said that Russia must be held to account.

UKRAINE ACCUSED RUSSIA AND ITS SOLDIERS OF PLENTY OF HEINOUS ACTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WAR, AND THIS LATEST ACCUSATION RANKS RIGHT UP THERE.

UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY SAYS THIS VIDEO, POSTED ON RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS SHOWS, SHOWS RUSSIAN SOLDIERS BURNING THE FACES OF DEAD NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS.

BY DISFIGURING THEIR REMAINS, ZELENSKYY SAYS RUSSIA IS TRYING TO HIDE THE NUMBER OF NORTH KOREAN CASUALTIES SUFFERED DURING RUSSIA’S MEAT WAVE ATTACKS NEAR KURSK.

UKRAINIAN INTEL REPORTS SHOW, AND THE DRONE VIDEO FROM THE FRONTLINES SEEM TO CONFIRM, NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS ARE BEING ORDERED TO LAUNCH SPORADIC ATTACKS ALONG THE FRONTLINES NEAR KURSK. OFTEN WITH NO ARMORED VEHICLES OR COVER OF ANY KIND.

WHILE THE NORTH KOREANS MAY BE NEW TO THE CONFLICT, UKRAINE’S DRONE OPERATORS ARE NOT. SO, PICKING OFF NORTH KOREAN TROOPS ISN’T EXACTLY THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THEIR WAR THUS FAR.

DURING ONE ROUND OF ATTACKS UKRAINE DRONE OPERATORS KILLED AROUND 50 NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS. CLOSE TO ANOTHER 50 WERE LEFT WOUNDED.

SOME NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS ARE APPARENTLY GETTING MEDICAL ATTENTION IN RUSSIAN HOSPITALS. BUT AS WE SAID EARLIER, THOSE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO DIE ON THE BATTLEFIELD MAY BE SUBJECTED TO FURTHER ABUSES AT THE HANDS OF THEIR SUPPOSED COMRADES.

PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY SAYS THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS BURNING OFF THE FACES OF THEIR FALLEN BROTHERS IN ARMS IS ANOTHER SIGN OF RUSSIA’S DISRESPECT ‘FOR EVERYTHING HUMAN.’ ZELENSKYY SAID THIS MADNESS MUST BE STOPPED BY A RELIABLE AND DURABLE PEACE, AND THAT RUSSIA MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.
