Elderly people living in Russia have reportedly been targeted by Putin’s North Korean troops. The soldiers are said to be using pensioners homes as ‘shelter’ during the war
North Korean soldiers who are helping Russia fight its war against Ukraine are reportedly throwing pensioners out of their homes.
According to new reports, the fighters are kicking out the elderly so they can “take cover from Ukranian drone attacks”. The cruel move is said to have left the country’s most vulnerable to suffer in the cold.
Chilling drone footage recorded in Ukraine reportedly shows the North Koreans booting the elderly people out of their homes. The incidents are said to have occurred close to the frontline in the village of Makhnovka, Kursk region.
Telegram channel InformNapalm stated: “North Korean soldiers drove local residents (Russians) out of their houses to hide [there]. Local elderly people were left in the cold, and their homes became shelters for North Korean soldiers.”
A Ukrainian military source told the channel: “We know for sure that these were Koreans, not Russians, not only by their characteristic external features but also by other intelligence data. On the streams that we watched, it was clearly visible that they were Koreans, we also know that they operated in that area and suffered significant losses. Perhaps, in order to avoid death from drones, they decided to take cover with the local population and hide in their houses, and drive the elderly people into the cold.”
Ukraine is currently staging an advance in the region which it first partially occupied in August last year, pushing forward almost two miles. Volodymyr Zelensky recently claimed that almost 4,000 out of around 11,000 Kim Jong Un soldiers sent to Russia have been killed or wounded while fighting for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has suggested 3,800 North Korean soldiers have been killed or maimed in the war.
Meanwhile, Radio Free Asia has reported that North Korean families losing their men in the war are forced by Jim’s dictatorship to sign nondisclosure agreements barring them from talking about their losses.
Death certificates do not show how or where their loved ones were killed, it is reported. “On December 18, my mother and I received a message that the Kaechong City Party Committee was inviting us to participate in a provincial-level party event,” said a source in South Pyongan Province, North Korea.
“When we arrived in Pyongsong, we received a certificate of death in battle for my younger brother, who was serving in the special operations forces.” This alarming account revealed that the authorities are describing the deaths as occurring during “sacred military exercises”, suggesting they are intended as drills for a future war in Korea.
“At the event held by the provincial party committee, it was explained that [the soldiers] died during sacred military exercises on which the honour of the motherland depended”, said the account as translated by InformNapalm.
