Summary
North Korean soldiers supporting Russia in its war with Ukraine are reportedly using suicide tactics to avoid capture, as seen in a recent incident where a soldier detonated a grenade during a Ukrainian operation.
Ukraine claims North Korea has deployed 11,000 troops, with over 3,000 killed or injured.
Defectors and analysts suggest these soldiers are brainwashed into sacrificing themselves for Kim Jong Un and fear being labeled traitors if captured.
Kyiv has offered to exchange captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainians held in Russia.
Experts warn this deployment may enhance North Korea’s future military capabilities.
I know.
The problem is that they felt the need to bomb two massive cities full of non combatant people instead.
In war though the tradeoff between your own people and theirs always lands on theirs ultimately.
