Massacre in Russia: North Korean troops 'decimated' in frontal attack in Kursk

Day 1,027.

Today, as video evidence emerges of North Korean troops in combat, in a special episode we hear a report David Knowles recorded before his death which looks deeper into the question of Pyongyang’s early involvement in this war, and hear about the charity we are fundraising for this year, in David’s memory.
