South Korean intelligence officials have adopted a skeptical stance when it comes to reports from Ukraine. It’s gotten to the point where Korean intelligence officials are telling reporters to hold off on relaying reports about North Korean troops from Ukrainian officials until they receive third-party confirmation, because Ukraine makes “fake news” at the state level. This means we have to carefully consider the source of the information and the intentions behind it.
That would be irrelevant because it’s not SK’s “free press,” it’s their government agents issuing this warning.
Yes, I somehow mixed all things up when I read the article and I got confused about government agencies of NK issuing warnings about misinformation.
