Captured North Korean Soldiers Reveal Harsh Realities of Deployment in Ukraine

Ukrainian forces capture two North Korean troops deployed by Pyongyang to support Russia, exposing their lack of preparation and high casualties.

  • Ukraine's 95th Air Assault Brigade captured two North Korean soldiers during battles in Russia's Kursk region earlier this month.
  • One soldier, unaware he was being sent to fight, claimed he was told he was going to Russia for training, not combat.
  • North Korean troops have reportedly suffered heavy casualties, with thousands killed or wounded due to outdated tactics and inadequate training for modern warfare.
  • Captured soldiers revealed that they were issued fake Russian military IDs and transported to Russia under strict information isolation.
  • Ukraine offered to exchange the captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia, as Pyongyang and Moscow continue to deny North Korea's involvement.
