North Korean soldiers sent by Russia to Ukraine kill themselves to avoid captivity

" About it writes Daily Mail. South Korea National Intelligence Service also confirmed on Friday that the North Korean soldier, captured by the day before, was killed. On Friday, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in his statement on Telegram that at least 3,000 North Korean soldiers were killed or injured in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukrainian troops were conducting surgery. "Russia is simply getting rid of them during attacks.

Why Koreans should fight for Putin is a question that no normal person on Earth can answer," Zelensky said. Kirby, for his part, stated that Russian leaders and North Korea consider North Korean soldiers to be supplies and give them orders to carry out "hopeless attacks on Ukrainian defense. " Kirby noted that these soldiers apparently have undergone ideological processing and continue to attack, even when it is obvious that it would not bring success.

"We also have reports that the North Korean soldiers impose on themselves without seeking the Ukrainian forces, it is likely because of the fear of repression against their families in North Korea in the event of their captivity," Kirby said. He warned that regardless of all the equipment that the Russian military provides to their troops, commanders will need frequent supply of bags for corpses, because "they will be clearly needed.

" The exact number of North Korean soldiers who have committed themselves to avoid captivity remains unknown. On Friday, December 27, Zelensky said that, although "several" North Korean soldiers were captured, they were "seriously injured and not resuscitated", which suggests that some of them could kill their comrades. According to him, these troops were sent to battle with "minimal protection" and suffered great losses.

A significant defense pact between Pyongyan and Moscow, signed in June, came into force this month. Russian President Vladimir Putin called him a "breakthrough document". North Korea's state media reported on Friday that Putin had sent New Year's Eve to North Korean leader Kim Jong -in, stating that "bilateral relations between our two countries have risen to a new level after our negotiations in June in Pyongyan.
