Summary
A captured Russian soldier claimed North Korean troops stationed in Russia’s Kursk region endangered their allies by mistakenly firing on their own unit.
Video footage purportedly shows the soldier describing how North Koreans fired in the wrong direction during an assault, reportedly killing two Russian soldiers. North Korea has deployed around 8,000 troops to support Russia, raising international concerns about escalating conflict dynamics.
In return, North Korea is reportedly receiving money, food, and space technology from Russia. Moscow plans to form multiple units of North Korean soldiers integrated with Russian ethnic minorities.
I really feel sorry for those guys, they are recruited to fight someone else’s war in a foreign country and are literally exchanged for food, money and space technology like a cattle.
This shows how much the NK government values the lives of their citizens. Grim!
The South Koreans did the same in Vietnam and it is said it kickstarted their economy, maybe it’s the same here.
