Putin’s Secret Plan Revealed| North Korean Troops in Russia Given Fake Military Docs, Many Killed

The Ukrainian military has uncovered a secret plan involving North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. According to reports, thousands of North Koreans were deployed to Russia and given fake military identification documents, including Russian-style names and birthplaces, in an effort to conceal their presence. Despite the false details, the documents still revealed their true origin through Korean signatures. Ukrainian forces have killed several North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, and estimates suggest that between 11,000 and 12,000 North Korean troops are currently stationed in Russia. Both Russia and North Korea have refused to publicly acknowledge the presence of North Korean soldiers, while Ukrainian officials claim Russia is trying to cover up their heavy losses. Reports also suggest that Russia has been using extreme measures to conceal the deaths of these soldiers, including burning bodies and quickly removing them from the battlefield. #PutinsSecretPlan #NorthKoreanTroops #RussianMilitary #UkraineWar #FakeMilitaryDocs #KurskBattle #RussiaNorthKorea #PutinCoverUp #NorthKoreanSoldiers #UkraineSpecialForces #HiddenTroops #MilitaryTactics #RussianLosses #KoreanWarTactics #WarCrimes
