Make your own conclusions, but I think it seems pretty believable that there are DPRK troops in Ukraine. Doesn’t seem like it changes the war regardless, but interesting update.

edit: according to a comrade of mine that speaks Korean, they said it’s kinda hard to say. The last translation seems a bit off, like the person is overstating that he wants to stay in Ukraine, but it’s still overall unverified that they are actually DPRK soldiers.

I’m kinda stumped on this one

    I’ve been asking some of my comrades that speak Korean what they make of it, but no responses so far. At this point, my response is based if true, and fake if false.

    I also saw the fake Tuvan passports. Pretty conflicted.

      Russia includes plenty of asia and shares a border with Korea so Eastern Russians who look korean or asian in general isnt all that surprising if thats what this is. Which unless this ID is fake it appears they are Russian.

      There’s 90000 Korean minority in Russia and some of them do serve in military.

      Idk they dont look fake to me. That document looks old. The ink from the pen is kinda faded and the pages have age showing on them too. It doesnt look like some newly created document. Which a forgery would be new.

        I don’t know nearly enough about this case to state or imply a conclusion about DPRK soldiers in Ukraine.

        I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it’s not difficult to make a document look old.
