North Korea has sent 1,500 soldiers to Ukraine, who are believed to have previously guarded the dictator's father Kim Jong Il, according to BILD.
As media sources reported, in early October, Kim Jong Un visited a special unit in the Western District of the Korean People's Army, which is considered one of the most brutal in the world.
BILD columnist Peter Tiede calls them "combat slaves" because they were raised in an information vacuum, with no external influence. They had no access to the internet, Western television, or mobile phones.
The agency also notes that these future soldiers were indoctrinated with an ideology that prepared them to destroy "NATO devils" and the enemies of their "beloved leader."
Recently, the number of flights of Russian military transport aircraft AN-124 between Vladivostok and Pyongyang has been increasing. It is believed that they were also transporting fighters. At least 400 of them are reportedly training in barracks near Khabarovsk. According to South Korean intelligence, they were given fake documents and Russian passports, disguised as Buryats and Yakuts.
North Korean participation in the war in Ukraine on Russia’s side
In early October, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun stated that North Korea might send troops to Ukraine in support of Russia. Later, it became known that North Korea had transferred its Special Operations Forces to Russia, which are among the most secretive in the world.
Additionally, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov revealed that North Korean soldiers will begin fighting against Ukraine in November.
