‘Several hundred’ North Korean troops killed fighting Ukraine, says US official
‘All ranks’ among casualties in Kursk after Pyongyang sent thousands of soldiers to reinforce Russia’s war effort

You have to admire the Ukrainian style with this though. They charged him on Monday and blew him up on Tuesday. Makes you wonder if Craig David was involved.
What Ukraine should do now is charge a load of other Russian Generals in absentia and have them all shitting themselves for the foreseeable.
Merry Christmas!

You used to think other actors who've played bond were international guns for hire but got really confused about Sean connery after you heard of red October and told me you thought he was some sort of mole

Are you suggesting that senior US military officials wouldn't be as aware of what's going on in Ukraine as the Ukrainian military?
Does the fact that the info is coming from the US mean we should treat it differently to if it was coming from a different source?

It should still be evaluated for source and probability
Of course not, I would never question the veracity or morals of our beloved allies. Who do you take me for?
Connery, that must have caused a few laughs in France when he was asked for his name.

So, of course, should all such reports of casualties.
So what are you actually suggesting?
You may have a perfectly valid point, but if you choose to make it in such a cryptic manner, no one really knows what the fuck you're talking about.

So seems this whole NK troops thing is now just a propaganda battle.... Their existence presumably designed to intimidate Ukraine into feeling outnumbered. The claims and counterclaims a weird propaganda front line .
I think it's basically irrelevant, other than an example of how Russia has successfully made wider allegiances

I have very little trust in the US and the US military in particular. They have historically a particularly poor relationship with the truth and with morality.
You are free to disagree of course.

Information is graded according to reliability and probability on its path to becoming intelligence, nothing to do with casualties, could be a report of the construction of an airport

The idea is for Ukraine to convince their allies that Russia is involving troops from another state's army in this war, which would be a clear and massive escalation, thereby, hopefully prompting said allies to offer greater assistance.

Iirc Russia has been very open that NK troops are involved, though the one report I've read that I really trust, verbatim from UKR troops, is that they've seen no sign of heard no chatter.
It's all a bit farcical.

The Ukranian, British, DPKR, and Russian armies have an equally poor relationship with the truth and with morality.

NK agreed some sort of mutual defence pact with Russia. I think this limits their engagement to fighting on Russian soil only, so supposedly deployed in the Kursk area where Ukraine has an incursion on Russian land. I think physically entering Ukrainian territory (even the bits Russia now claims are theirs) is a step beyond this so might not have happened.
I suspect they might also be used elsewhere on Russian land to support the main invasion through stuff like logistics support and air defence. Rumours of use elsewhere might be (as speculated by others on this thread) just an attempt to claim escalation and raise the level of support from western allies.

Sending troops to train has often been the prelude to sending troops to fight.

In 1910 when planning for the inevitable European war British General Wilson asked French General Fochs “What is the smallest British military force that would be of any practical assistance to you?”
Fochs replied “A single British soldier—and we will see to it that he is killed.”
