While North Korea has been found to have sent soldiers to Russia, Ukrainian soldiers at war have responded.

The Kyiv Independent, a Ukrainian media outlet, reported questions to five Ukrainian soldiers about 'North Korean military participation'

An officer replied "I'm not too worried about North Korean soldiers"because it's a sign that there's a problem with Russia"



He said "They're going to be a very low-quality army. It won't make a big difference on the front line strategically, especially because you won't have experience fighting in this war," he stressed.

He also argued that `a special government program should be created to allow North Korean troops who are surrendered to go to South Korea.'



A member of the drone operation unit said "North Korean troops should not come here. Only death awaits them here."

One soldier said, `I don't worry too much' and `We should induce North Korean troops to surrender through psychological warfare, such as spraying flyers", he suggested.



A battalion commander will kill everyone who comes to our land as an occupier," he said strongly.

A soldier working in the medical corps said "Currently, Russia is fighting at the expense of its allies, including Chinese drones, Iranian missiles and drones, Chinese armored vehicles, and North Korean missiles and ammunition. Now even the soldiers have been mobilized""It shows that Russia cannot defeat Ukraine, which was said to be "the second most powerful military in the world"."

"However, it is concerning that we have found a place to fill new troops..." he added.

Meanwhile, the South Korean government said North Korea has decided to send large-scale troops to the war in Ukraine to help Russia.

According to the National Intelligence Service, North Korea will send a total of 12,000 troops to the war in Ukraine, including four brigades, including special forces.

More than 3,000 North Korean soldiers were already sent to Russia last week.
