According to Russian state television
North Korea is said to have offered the Kremlin 100,000 “volunteers”.
It’s no secret that Putin’s army is on the offensive. It is said that the armed forces of the Kremlin will soon grow: as announced on Russian state television, North Korea is said to have promised Putin 100,000 volunteers.
It is said that things are not good for Vladimir Putin’s army (69). Frustrated soldiers, a battered army and piles of wrecked tanks – another rumor follows.
According to Russian state television, North Korea is said to be rushing to help: the country is said to have offered the Kremlin to send 100,000 soldiers to support the Russian attempt to invade Ukraine.
“North Koreans have experience of revenge”
The state’s offer of military support could not be independently verified. Russian defense expert Igor Korotchenko (62) discussed the topic. “There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are ready to take part in the conflict,” Korotchenko told Channel One.
He is particularly interested in the “rich experience of North Koreans in revenge”. This is a telling note given the achievements of Ukrainian long-range artillery since the US delivery of HIMARS missile systems.
Secret services question the Russian mass mobilization
By offering to help, the Kremlin has of course been well received by North Korea: “If North Korea expresses a desire to fulfill its international duty to fight Ukrainian fascism, we must allow it,” Korotchenko continued.
The Kremlin clearly has not thought about what “voluntary” power entails in an authoritarian state like North Korea. The announcement of North Korea’s support comes at a time when several Russian vassals are already providing so-called “voluntary” forces. Western intelligence analysts interpret this development as an indication that Putin does not have the political capital to order a full mobilization within Russia.
British intelligence chief Richard Moore recently said he believed the Russians would “soon lose their momentum”. “In our estimation, the Russians will find it increasingly difficult to supply manpower and materials in the coming weeks,” the MI6 chief said during inquiry time at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.
