Frankly speaking, the story about “thousands of North Korean special forces troops disguised as Buryats” was first made up by the author of this article over a year ago. At that time, I got a call from some scammers who asked me if I knew that my granddaughter had withdrawn 800,000 rubles from my bank account. They claimed that this money might have been stolen and demanded my bank account details and the keys to the apartment. However, my improvised response took them by surprise: you see, I told them, my granddaughter is studying to become a military translator and is secretly accompanying a unit of North Korean special forces troops which is about to be sent to the zone of Russia’s special military operation. But some logistical issues have come up. North Korean soldiers are used to eating dogs, but if they start catching and eating them in Ukraine, they’ll reveal themselves. So the dogs have to be bought and transported at my own expense, and there’s nothing criminal about this money being withdrawn from my bank account for that very purpose. Apparently, though, my little prank has gone out of control.

Lmao. Russian humor is really something.

Darkest possible humor known to mankind.
