"direct participation of military personnel of NATO in the conflict"


That's some of what Russian President Vladimir Putin had to say when questioned about the notion of North Korean soldiers participating in the Ukraine War.   



Western media reports fueled by Ukrainian intelligence point to as many as 12,000 North Korean soldiers in Russian with 3,000 of them in the front line of the war.


Putin pointing to NATO personnel helping Ukraine in situations like targeting for Ukraine's missile and drone attacks on Russia.



Now Mr. Putin said regarding pictures of North Korean soldiers in Russia circulated online in recent days:


"Pictures are a serious thing.  If there are pictures then they reflect something"



And Putin also said regarding mutual military assistance called for in a strategic partnership agreement with North Korea (DPRK):



"the implementation of the fourth point has yet to be discussed"


Mr. Putin was speaking at a news conference at the end of BRICS summit in Kazan Russia.    


He also expressed a desire to end the Ukraine War claiming Ukraine even made a secret offer before President Volodymyr Zelensky embarked on his 'victory plan' strategy in recent weeks...
