Russian soldiers have been heard raising concerns about how North Korean soldiers will be commanded and provided with ammunition and military kit, leaked intercepts obtained by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and
released on Friday show.
The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the ôK Battalion,ö at one point referring to them as
ôthe f**king Chinese.ö
In the same extract, a serviceman describes another who has been tasked to ômeet people.ö
ôAnd heÆs like standing there with his eyes out, likeà f**k,ö the soldier
says. ôHe came here and says what the f**k to do with them.ö
The audio was intercepted from encrypted Russian transmission channels on
the night of October 23, according to UkraineÆs Defense Intelligence.
UkraineÆs analysis of the intercepts revealed that North Korean troop
movements were planned for the morning of October 24, in the area of
Postoyalye Dvory field camp in RussiaÆs Kursk region, where Ukraine
launched a surprise incursion earlier this year.
The intercepts also reveal plans to have one interpreter and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean men, which the Russian soldiers are
heard in the audio condemning.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin and China's President Xi Jinping attend
an official welcoming ceremony in front of the Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square in Beijing on May 16, 2024.
ôThe only thing I donÆt understand is that there [should be] three senior officers for 30 people. Where do we get them? WeÆll have to pull them
out,ö one Russian serviceman says.
ôIÆm f***ing telling you, there are 77 battalion commanders coming in
tomorrow, there are commanders, deputy commanders and so on,ö a serviceman
says in another extract.
The intercepted audio follows a Thursday announcement from UkraineÆs
military intelligence service that a group of North Korean soldiers have
been spotted in RussiaÆs Kursk region, an area that borders Ukraine and
has seen ongoing military operations.
In a post on its official Telegram account, the Defense Intelligence of
Ukraine said some North Korean troops, who had received training in
RussiaÆs far east, have made their way to the western Russian region,
where Ukraine has maintained a foothold since launching an incursion in
August.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he received a
report on the deployment of North Korean military personnel from UkraineÆs commander-in-chief.
ôAccording to intelligence, on October 27-28, Russia will deploy its first North Korean troops in combat zones. This is a clear step in RussiaÆs escalation that matters, unlike all the disinformation circulating in
Kazan these days,ö Zelensky said, criticizing the BRICS summit staged by Russian President Vladimir Putin this week in the southwestern Russian
city of Kazan.
The Kremlin had initially dismissed allegations of North Korean troop deployments, but on Thursday at the BRICS summit, Putin did not deny that Pyongyang had sent soldiers to the country.
North Korea said on Friday that any troop deployment to Russia to aid the
war in Ukraine would conform with international law, state media reported, without explicitly confirming such presence. North Korea had previously dismissed such reports.
ôThe actual involvement of North Korea in combat should be met not with a
blind eye and confused comments, but with tangible pressure on both Moscow
and Pyongyang to comply with the UN Charter and to punish escalation,ö
Zelensky added.
