'North Korean Soldier Sent to Russia Crazy for Online Adulting'

The British media Daily Star quoted a British journalist as saying.
Gideon Rachman, chief diplomatic commentator at the Financial Times, told his social media outlet `X.'"According to trusted sources, North Korean soldiers sent to Russia had never had free access to the Internet before, but are now enthusiastic about pornography," he wrote.
He did not specify who 'trusted sources' were, but he had more than 8.5 million views as of 1:30 a.m. on the 6th.
When the article was posted, X users posted comments such as "Finally got a taste of freedom", "If true, let's use adult products as weapons", "Will they really have a personal smartphone?" There have also been articles questioning whether his claims are credible.
Recently, fake news and unconfirmed information related to the dispatch of North Korean troops have spread, causing controversy.
On the 4th, a video of the North Korean military eating ramen and beef was posted on social media, but chances are high that it is Chinese.
In addition, an interview with a North Korean soldier who is being treated alone after losing all his colleagues was made earlier, but it is unclear whether it is true.
Last month, it was alleged that eight North Korean officers were killed on the first day of the deployment of the front line in Ukraine, but this was also not confirmed.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on the 5th (local time) that `Ukrainian forces have engaged in the first battle against North Korean forces assigned to Russian forces.'
However, the Ukrainian military explained that it was not a full-scale battle, but a small-scale battle.
Ukraine also predicted that the number of North Korean troops who have already been assigned to or will join the Russian military would increase by up to 15,000.
