Make your own conclusions, but I think it seems pretty believable that there are DPRK troops in Ukraine. Doesn't seem like it changes the war regardless, but interesting update.

edit: according to a comrade of mine that speaks Korean, they said it's kinda hard to say. The last translation seems a bit off, like the person is overstating that he wants to stay in Ukraine, but it's still overall unverified that they are actually DPRK soldiers.

I'm kinda stumped on this one

The response to the ridiculous Ukrainian propaganda about how North Korean hordes are overrunning Ukraine and dying in their thousands should not be to deny the situation completely, it should be to try uncover the truth of the situation.

This is a weird dichotomy to make up. Makes it sound like denial of a shoddy narrative coming out of the mouths of pathological liars is somehow uninterested in the truth. We don't need to give them credit for maybe being kind of accurate via vague inferences and speculation. There needs to be actual evidence, not "I find this likely or unlikely".

Are Russians operating all of this equipment on their own?

What makes you think people are incapable of operating equipment they got from another source, without the source people there? It's one of the primary things that happens on a daily basis in the capitalist world. And even if there were a contingent there to teach them how to operate certain equipment, that would not inherently be the same thing as having an active troop presence who is meant to be taking part in combat. That'd essentially just be a knowledge exchange thing between allies.
