Other reports say that it's only one engineering unit, not a whole division.

I can't wait to see American clickseekers now supporting Russia, North Korea, and Iran.

The only people who are pro war are those who keep making excuses for Putin.

If the NORKs end up on the front line what percentage of them defect?

I would bet the answer would be zero. They are well indoctrinated.

Seeing North Korea for some reason I though of that Lewis Grizzard book,
'Shoot low boys they're riding Shetland Ponies".

Not many, considering NK has a 3 generation law. Where if you mess up they punish your parents, wife, and kids. So if they defect, they're kissing their family goodbye.

Didn't they just sign a mutual defense pact about a week ago?

Yes; however, at the time they didn't mention troops, only armaments.

Looks like the start of a bigger war if they follow through on this.

Yeah but it's Ukraine's fault for not surrendering.

Those war mongers in Kiev dying to protect their country like it was some LARP fantasy.

Absolutely disgusting

Lima will be here shortly to tell us that North Korean engineering capabilities are more advanced than ours.

If indeed NK is sending troops, look for SK to send more weapons to Ukraine. They were already saying they would look at their export restriction depends by on the actions of the “Russia/NK agreement”

SK has tons of 155 and 105 shells…..

ISW Update

quote:

Key Takeaways:

The likely Islamic State (IS) affiliate Wilayat Kavkaz terrorist attacks in the Republic of Dagestan on June 23 have increased fears within the Russian information space about further attacks and instability in the North Caucasus.

The June 23 terrorist attacks in Dagestan also prompted Chechen Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov to double down on his image as a ruthless autocratic strongman capable of protecting the North Caucasus from religious extremism.

North Korea will reportedly send military construction and engineering forces to participate in "reconstruction work" in occupied Donetsk Oblast as early as July 2024.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated that Russia is not interested in any negotiations that do not result in Ukrainian territorial concessions beyond the parts of Ukraine Russian forces already occupy.

New Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov used his first phone call with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on June 26 to reiterate standard Russian threats meant to coerce the US out of supporting Ukraine as part of the wider Russian reflexive control campaign targeting Western decision-making.

Russia and Ukraine exchanged 90 prisoners of war (POWs) each in a one-to-one POW exchange on June 25 amid United Nations (UN) reports of Russia's continued abuse of POWs.

Russia and Iran signed a memorandum on June 26 regarding the supply of Russian gas to Iran, following reported disagreements between Russia and the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Russian supply of gas to the PRC.

Ukraine’s pervasive shortage of critical air defense missiles is inhibiting Ukraine’s ability to protect its critical infrastructure against Russian strikes.

Russian forces recently marginally advanced near Kupyansk.

Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) published a report on June 26 detailing a significant increase in Russia's military equipment and weapons production in 2023.

Since NK has made itself a direct party to the conflict, if I'm the Ukrainian special services I use a shell corporation to charter a trawler and use it as a base to drone the frick out of them

South Korea made the same mistake as Biden: worrying that involvement in the conflict could cause escalation, and fearing Russian retaliation.

It's negotiating against yourself, and it looks like weakness to Russia.
