North Korean soldiers kill Russian allies for lack of translators

Mixing “units” can be dangerous for the strategic organizing of combat. The proof is in the Kursk region, in western Russia, where North Koreans allegedly targeted their Russian allies.

According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry (HUR MOU), North Korean soldiers, sent to reinforce Putin’s troops, killed eight Chechen soldiers.

“In the process of using North Korean troops on the battlefield, the language barrier remains an obstacle that complicates the management and coordination of actions,” Ukrainian military intelligence services emphasize on Telegram. “For this reason, North Korean soldiers conducted friendly fire on the vehicles of the so-called “Akhmat” battalion [the security forces of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, editor’s note]. Eight Kadyrovtsy were killed.”

At the end of October, still according to certain communications intercepted by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, several Russian soldiers based in Kursk complained about these “new allies,” who were too cumbersome. They allegedly had “not the slightest fucking idea” of what they were going to do with them. In addition, translators were reportedly missing: only one for 30 North Korean soldiers, according to the media outlet Korii.
