Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Russian forces are burning the faces of dead North Korean soldiers to hide their involvement in Ukraine.

He says North Koreans are now being deployed in significant numbers, particularly in Russia’s Kursk region, where 200 have reportedly been killed or wounded.

The U.S. confirmed indications of North Korean casualties, while South Korea imposed sanctions on officials and entities involved in North Korea-Russia military cooperation.

Cool. Here's the newsweek article on the same thing that has a link to Zelensky's Twitter post where he says the thing. https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-says-russian-troops-burning-faces-killed-north-korean-soldiers-2001980

Newsweek is also trash, but for different reasons.

Newsweek has been unable to independently verify the video or Zelensky's allegations.

Awesome.

Like NK soldiers are there and we know they're there. This explanation doesn't seem to pass the straight face test.
