Ukrainian Partisans Report North Korean Soldiers Establish Training Ground Near Mariupol
The Ukrainian guerrilla movement, “Death to russian Occupiers and Collaborators,” claims to have identified the location of North Korean military personnel in the russian-occupied portion of the Donetsk region.
This announcement was made on the movement’s Telegram channel on Sunday, October 13, 2024.
According to the report, three training grounds in the Mariupol region are currently active, particularly the one near the village of Sartana, which has been established with the involvement of the North Korean contingent. Intensive training with artillery is underway there, contradicting claims of a shell shortage.
The North Korean instructors are reportedly setting up the training ground and appear to feel confident and secure at this time. Many residents of the Sartana community have begun cooperating actively with the occupying forces, according to the guerrilla movement, which primarily operates in the Azov region.
As of now, other sources have not confirmed the existence of the three alleged training grounds for DPR forces in the temporarily occupied territory, including the claimed training ground in Sartana.
The guerrilla movement asserts that they will “do everything possible” to ensure that putin’s military allies from North Korea “receive a ‘greeting’ from the Ukrainian Armed Forces as soon as possible.”
