News Fact check: North Korea has not announced plans to send troops to Ukraine — yet While Russia and DPRK are boosting military ties, reports that Pyongyang said it will send troops within month are false SHARE COPY LINK FACEBOOK X LINKEDIN MASTODON PRINT North Korea has not announced that it will dispatch troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine within a month, despite multiple news reports that have made this claim this week. Picking up on comments made during a U.S. government briefing, the British tabloid Daily Express, Ukrainian website Kyiv Post and other outlets have reported as fact that Pyongyang stated it would send engineers to Russian-occupied Donetsk to rebuild the war-torn city.

The normal North-Korean is starving to get some food so i was doubtful they had men capable. Also sending them abroad gives them a new experiences of battle but also the world, i don't think Kim wants that to happen.

If by troops you mean prisoners put in an army uniform with equipment suitable for cannon fodder, then yes, NK might be sending troops.

Yup it was a fake news and a lot of us treated it like a fact.

Edit1. because some people are confused about NK News: Just to let you know, it's not North Korean site/outlet, this is an American site, where you can read news focused on North Korea, and they are based in Seoul - S.Korea.

Edit 2. Just to clarify, because some people say that it wasn't fake news because it said that NK would send military engineers and not soldiers, so people just got it wrong... No. Both of those things were fake news.

Let me say it once again: The point is, that this whole thing about combat engineers, as of right now is just a rumor/fake news.

For now North Korea didn't offically say if they'll send anyone. So ALL this talk about soldiers and engineers is fake.

And a little disclaimer: Things can always change of course, I'm not saying that this can't happen, but for NOW this was all just a rumor.
