Answering the Critics (and cynics ! ) -The Issue of KPA Sub-Units in Russia

 Answering the Critics (and cynics ! ) -The Issue of KPA Sub-Units 

At the end of April  the Russian president and a Russian military commander thanked the DPRK for sending troops who assisted in the liberation of Kursk from the Ukrainian Banderite fascists . On the 28th of April the Central Military Commission (CMC)of the Workers Party of Korea(WPK) issued a statement praising the role of sub units of the Korean People’s Army (KPA ) in liberating Kursk .

This was the first time that the presence of KPA soldiers in Russia was actually confirmed . Previously it had been a matter of conjecture and speculation .The mainstream media and Western politicians spread lurid and hysterical tales about KPA troops ‘invading Ukraine ‘ etc . Naturally , KFA UK which believes in defending People’s Korea with No Ifs or Buts refuted false reports being circulated , Now some people have criticised us saying the mainstream media were right ! Was the mainstream media right ? No it was not !

The basic facts are ;

1.The mainstream media claimed that the KPA troops were in Ukraine when in fact they were in Russia .

2.t was claimed that 10,000 KPA troops and even 15,000 KPA troops were deployed whereas the Statement of the WPK CMC says sub-units of the KPA were deployed , implying a much smaller number. The DPRK in its history has never deployed such a large number of military forces outside the country . Moreover ,Kursk is a geographically limited space so there would not be room for a large contingent of foreign troops .

3.The so-called evidence presented by the mainstream media consisted of fakes , some of them very clumsy . The “Daily Mail “ was caught out using a photoshopped picture of female troops .

4.Related to the above -it was stated that no KPA soldier was captured , that no Korean broke their oath therefore the pictures of captured KPA soldiers were fake .

The KPA sub-units were deployed under the provisions of the treaty between the DPRK and Russia , They played a purely defensive role. The deployment enabled the KPA to gain knowledge of the tactics used by imperialist forces through actual fighting . Moreover the deployment was an example of the DPRK’s internationalism and smashed the slander that the DPRK is a ‘nationalist state ‘ . The DPRK has honourably contributed to the defeat of neo-Nazi-ism in Europe .
