ukraine "russia is transporting north korea's frontline by civilian truck"

Ukrainian authorities have claimed that Russian forces are transporting North Korean soldiers to the front lines in civilian trucks.

According to Ukrainian media outlet Kyiv Independent, the Defense Ministry's intelligence bureau released eavesdropping data showing Russian police stopping trucks carrying North Korean troops on highways with civilian license plates.

The intercept data reportedly contains conversations between Russian officers discussing why the driver did not present appropriate documents to police.

The officers reportedly tried to solve the problem when the police stopped the truck without knowing that it was a North Korean military transport vehicle.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he expected North Korean troops to be deployed to combat zones from yesterday.

Ukraine's intelligence authorities have been announcing the deployment of North Korean troops on the 25th, releasing data on interception by Russian troops to discuss issues of supporting North Korean troops, including support for interpreters.
