A leading defense expert in Moscow, reserve colonel Igor Korotchenko, said “We shouldn’t be shy in accepting the hand extended to us by Kim Jong-un.” Korotchenko is notorious for his passionate “pro-Putin rhetoric.”

“If North Korean volunteers with their artillery systems, a wealth of experience with counter-battery warfare and large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems, made in North Korea, want to participate in the conflict, well let’s give the green light to their volunteer impulse. If North Korea expresses a desire to meet its international duty to fight against Ukrainian fascism, we should let them,” says Korotchenko.

It was the “sovereign right of the DPR and LPR to sign the relevant agreements.”

WAR IS A TRAGEDY for the people, NOT the politicians.

No human being wants war.

Why can’t our leaders resolve problems peacefully?

North Korea says they are ready to supply a MASSIVE fighting force to Russia.

North Korea has also offered to provide builders to repair war damage.

They would be deployed to the forces of the separatist pro-Putin Donetsk People’s Republic [DPR] and Luhansk People’s Republic [LPR], both of which Kim has recognized as independent countries.

“The country is ready to transfer up to 100,000 of its soldiers to Donbas,” according to a report in a pro-Kremlin news agency.

“Pyongyang will be able to transfer its tactical units to Donbas.”

In return, grain and energy would be sent to North Korea.

The claim was seized on by Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of Russia’s National Defence journal on Rossiya 1 channel, who said: “There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are prepared to come and take part in the conflict.”

He was challenged on whether they could be volunteers from North Korea where total obedience is required.

Russia is supposedly desperate to seeking a boost on its frontline forces by recruiting prisoners in exchange for waiving their jail sentences.

Recently he urged Putin to bomb Kyiv with a Kalibr cruise missile inscribed ‘Hasta la vista baby!’ during any Boris Johnson farewell visit to show strength.

Russians should feel “no shame” of its ambition of obliterating Ukraine as an independent state, he also said recently.

“It was said here that Russia is trying to wipe Ukraine off the geopolitical map of the world. It isn’t quite that,” he said.

Ukraine had “never existed” as a truly independent state in the past, he claimed.

“We are wiping an anti-Russia project off the geopolitical map of the world….Its political elite “have no right to exist from the point of national interests of our country.”

The West “will not be able to influence the decisiveness of the leadership of our country and our people to make it so that such a threat from the territory now called Ukraine never exists.”
