Russia readies 30,000 North Korean troops for Ukraine: new escalation or cannon fodder?
What would Pilingui do if he ran out of Russians to send into the meat grinder? He would turn to Kim Jong Un's reservists. It's nothing new, but the scale is: another 30,000 North Koreans, according to Kyiv.
The warning came from Zelensky on July 26, linking the reinforcement to Russia's autumn mobilization plans. In a single day, 258 clashes were recorded along the front. The precedent of Kursk, where according to unconfirmed reports the first 14,000 North Koreans suffered significant casualties, raises doubts about their real effectiveness. Some analysts argue they are expendable shock troops; others say their discipline could make a difference at the front. Meanwhile, NATO continues to stay out of direct involvement.
Bottom line: while the allies debate whether to send tanks, Russia is importing soldiers from another continent. The meat grinder keeps grinding.
