Even after years of war, when we thought the Russians could not get any more cynical, we see something even worse.
Russia not only sends the North Korean troops to storm Ukrainian positions, but also tries to conceal losses of these people.
They tried to hide the presence of North Korean soldiers. It was prohibited to show their faces during training. The Russians attempted to erase any video evidence of their presence.
And now, after first combats with our warriors, Russians are trying… to literally burn the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in battle.
The important question to ask when confronted with things like this is "To what end?" A large amount of propaganda falls apart while attempting to answer that question.
For example, if DPRK soldiers are indeed in the fighting in Ukraine, what possible benefit does Russia gain from ordering it's soldiers to desecrate the corpses of their allies? To hide that the Koreans are there? Why would Russia care if people knew? To say nothing of the question of why would the DPRK possibly allow this treatment of their dead?
