A video showing an injured North Korean soldier appeared on social media. He talks about how his unit was defeated by the Ukrainians and the treatment of North Korean soldiers by the Russians.
“There were 40 of us, but they all died. There's only me, and I have nothing left to lose. The Russians ordered us to attack. The enemy pinned us down with drones and artillery," says a wounded soldier from North Korea. "The Russians assured us that we would be delegated to build and guard the fortifications. Instead, they sent us to fight in the Kursk region. The Ukrainians killed everyone (…). It was a meat grinder (…). The Russians didn't provide us with anything; they just threw us into the assault. No reconnaissance, no ammunition, and no normal weapons," he added.
Defence24 comments that, currently, it is difficult to find more detailed information about the participation of North Korean soldiers on the front lines. The above recording is the first of its kind.
