    Seems like a hard secret to keep, even for Russia.

    I’m guessing state media just downplays it? But what do they say? Like, do they just very quickly mention assistance from Korea (not even specifying North/South) in a blip and move on to the next blurb? Is there a longer justification?

    Or do they keep it a secret and tell soldiers to keep their mouths shut?

    I am morbidly interested in the propaganda aspect.

      I expect they do the same thing as they do about how the war is going. Blatantly lie and say all other sources of information are the real liars.

      Disinformation!

          Russian media will most likely not even bring it up, but if they feel they need to they will lie and say no NK soldiers are fighting in Ukraine.

          You know, the obvious lie.
