Occupiers preparing to meet military from DPRK: "There will be one interpreter for 30 people" - interception of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. VIDEO
The Russian invaders are preparing to receive military personnel from the DPRK, who will be assigned interpreters.
According to Censor.NET, this is evidenced by the interception of conversations of the occupiers, published by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
For example, Ukrainian intelligence intercepted conversations between servicemen of the 810th Separate Marine Brigade of the 18th Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces, which is taking part in the fighting in the Kursk region.
"In the intercepts, the occupiers discuss preparations for the reception and distribution of DPRK servicemen (codenamed Battalion "K") in the Kursk direction. To organise the interaction, the occupiers plan to assign one interpreter and three Russian servicemen for every 30 DPRK servicemen. However, the Russians themselves express doubts about the possibility of providing the newly arrived occupiers with Russian command staff," the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine noted.
The intelligence service noted that about 12,000 DPRK troops, including 500 officers and three North Korean generals, have been deployed to Russia so far.
