A surviving Korean from the DPRK about a fight with Ukrainians
A video has been published online in which a Korean from the DPRK who allegedly survived talks about his unit's first battle with Ukrainians in the Kursk region. As reported by Censor.NET, in the recording, a bandaged man says that their unit of 40 people was sent to storm Ukrainian positions without being provided with what they needed.
"There were about 40 of us. Now ours are all dead, and I am left alone and have nothing to lose. The Russian dogs threw us into the attack and we came under fire from artillery and drones. "Baba Yaga" is a demon from hell. My brothers Kim and Minho died instantly. K's head flew apart, and I was crushed by dead bodies. The Russians promised that we would build fortifications and guard military facilities, but they sent us to storm Kursk. The Ukrainians killed everyone, the responsibility for these deaths lies with the Russian army and President Putin. He deceived our great leader, the sun-faced Kim Jong-un. This is a real meat grinder and this has not happened for more than 50 years. My grandfather told us about the war, but this war is real hell. The Russians gave us nothing, they threw us into battle without preliminary reconnaissance, without ammunition, without normal weapons. The Ukrainians have excellent combat technology that the Russians do not have, they used us as bait. President Putin, your army is weak and is losing this war because of the chaos in your army. This is not a war, this is a massacre. I survived by chance, no one was going to evacuate me, but I was able to get out myself...", the Korean says in the recording.
Participation of DPRK troops in the Russian war against Ukraine
Recall that earlier NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed the involvement of North Korean soldiers in the war against Ukraine.
On October 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that, according to intelligence, the first North Korean troops will be used by Russia in combat zones on October 27-28.
On October 28, the Pentagon announced that the DPRK sent about 10,000 of its troops to Russia for exercises and further participation in military operations against Ukraine, which will happen within the "next few weeks".
The Pentagon reported that Ukrainian troops may use American weapons provided to them against North Korean troops if the DPRK enters the war against Ukraine on the side of Russia.
Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said that approximately several thousand North Korean soldiers have already left for the Kursk region in Russia. A smaller number of them are already located in the Kursk region.
