North Korean Troops Are Allegedly Heading To Ukraine

South Korea's intelligence agency are really top-notch, equipped with amazing remote sensing capabilities and predictive wherewithal! 

 

They really have their fingers on the pulse of what's happening in the world, even as faraway as Ukraine. On Friday, they presented three photos as confirmation of North Korea's deployment of troops to Russia for its war in Ukraine. 

 

Disclosing the satellite images, the National Intelligence Service said that the North has mobilised around 12,000 troops to Russia and already, 1,500 special forces troops have gone to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. 

 

Note: South Korea has been closely tracking North Korea's movements using satellites operated by the government and the military amid growing speculation about deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.

 

Just by looking at one of the photos (immediately below) – it came from a South Korean-operated satellite – the NIS can already ascertain their neighbor's intention as well as the soldiers' ultimate destination! 😎😎😎

 

I suppose the South Koreans see what they want to see. This is called confirmation bias.

 

Even Newsweek on October 18 reproduced the NIS story stating that four landing ships and three escort ships belonging to the Russian Pacific Fleet completed the first transport of approximately 1,500 North Korean special forces from near Chongjin, Hamhung, and Musudan, North Korea, to Vladivostok. 

 

The American weekly news magazine published this picture said to be from South Korea's NIS:

The South Korean government website also reported that the images confirm the start of North Korean military's participation in Russia's Special Military Operation. And panicking NATO!

 

In fact, prior to the NIS disclosure, Seoul’s defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun (right) on October 08 told the country's parliament that North Korea is likely to send its soldiers to fight and die in Ukraine alongside Russian troops.

 

And four days earlier, Ukrainian media, specifically, Kyiv Post had reported that North Korean soldiers died after Kyiv's forces bombed Russian-"occupied" territory near Donetsk. They said an October 03 missile strike had killed more than 20 soldiers, including six who were North Koreans. Three more North Korean servicemen were wounded.

All I can say is that the South Koreans can match the Ukrainians in fiction writing as they demonstrate the uncanny ability to concoct stories! If I may add, as polished as the Ukrainians!
