1. *The call highlights:*

   *“Yesterday, a train arrived with about 100 [North Koreans]. Today, there were another 120 — so that’s already 200. And how many more are there? God only knows,” the nurse is heard saying. Later, she complains that Russian hospital wards are being reserved for North Korean troops, while wounded Russian soldiers are treated in inferior conditions.*

   *“These Koreans are elite or something. We clear out specific fucking wards for them. […] What, are they a privileged class?” the nurse continues. “Well, they’re ‘imported,’” her husband responds.*

   *The woman also complains about the difficulty of treating patients who don’t speak Russian. She says that medical staff are not allowed to speak English with the North Korean soldiers and that online translation tools have proved inaccurate and ineffective.*

   *“Lariska said to me, ‘How will you know when they need pain medication?’ And I told her, ‘There’s no fucking way to know. If they start wailing, it means they need it,” the woman says.*

   *They all have the same face. How we’re supposed to differentiate between these… I don’t know. […] We’ll have to write on their foreheads in fucking marker. And they’re all dressed in the colors [of the clothing] that was provided to the hospital.*

   ROTFL: always racists and xenophobic, while whining on us of russophobia.

3. ‘… the Kremlin will likely continue concealing North Koreans’ role in the conflict, as officially revealing it “would tacitly acknowledge that Russia needs foreign troops to recapture its own territory.”’
