‼️DEBUNKING THE NKOREAN BS
Just recently Ukraine put out footages of two captured "north koreans" in the Russian Kursk region.
I have analysed all media files and here's my findings:
Yes those are ethnic Koreans of the Russian Federation called the Koryo-saram (90k pop.)

HISTORY:
The people of Koryo-saram are ethnic Koreans who fled Japanese imperialism and found refuge in the Russian empire in the late 19th century.
At the time 170,000 migrated to the Vladivostok region, accepting Russian laws but preserving their language & culture.

But during the rise of the Soviet Union and the struggle between Moscow and Japan in the far east.
Stalin believed them to be Japanese spies and then split them up into different regions of the USSR
Below is how many of them exists today:

It's horrible many westerners don't know that Russia is divided into two with 70% of it's territory being Asian.
75%+ are European Russian (most slavs)
23% are Asian Russians
It's easy to confuse every Asian as thesame. And sure I did mistake the Tuvan as Koryo-saram.

These documents seem to have been a set up by Ukrainian intelligence. And pro Russians bought into it.
There's no reason to place it there except to trick us all that Russia is giving out Tuvan documents to Koreans.
When in fact using primorsky krai, RF would expose them.

New footage of them was released of them speaking Korean. That video has been analysed and it's different with a more softer tone than North Korean
More matching the Koryo-saram people who have a mix of Russian influence in their speech.

We live in a world full of lies and I'm disappointed the Kremlin keeps quiet while Ukraine lies to the world.
Do better @KremlinRussia. I shouldn't be the one doing this work.
I'm sorry to any of you who believed the Tuvans because I said so. I'm glad I could correct it.
