A photo that the Daily Mail claimed two North Korean military females were present in Kursk was published. The picture is a phony. Some thanks to Levan Gudadze and his , Telegram channel , for pointing this out.
Zhenya and Sasha, the baby aunts, are depicted in the original picture. In 2023, they served as pond providers in the Donetsk People’s Republic Armed Forces system” Oplot”. The , Oplot Brigade , was a system of the Donetsk People’s Militia and after the Russian army. Oplot means Bastion.
The Russian propaganda mill most good sent the fake photo and story to The Daily Mail.
A Russian defense owner’s declaration, which was cited as a picture shared online, was supported by the image’s author as follows:” Daughters from Korea Wei and Lin– we call them Vera and Lida – have been serving with us for two months now. Why the Russians changed their names is questionable.
I can’t prove it but I don’t think any Russian military” trainer” said any such thing. I don’t believe the North Koreans are somewhere near Kursk. They’re definitely really teaching anywhere else in Russia.
Beware of what you read and see these times.
The Daily Mail has yet to retract its statement. No surprising.
The Daily Mail publishes a continuous supply of anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian advertising, much of it drivel. Given the caliber of news these days and the determination of readers and publishers to use their products as propaganda outlets, it isn’t surprising.
