Details: As the representative of the White House stated, the Russian and North Korean leaders consider the North Korean military as “expendable material” and give them orders for “hopeless attacks on Ukrainian defenses.”
He noted that these soldiers are “zombified” and insist on attacks even when it is clear that they are useless.
“We also have reports that North Korean soldiers are committing suicide rather than surrendering to Ukrainian forces, likely out of fear of reprisals against their families in North Korea if they are captured,” Kirby said.
The White House official added that despite all the things the Russian military is giving these troops — “whether it’s rifles, ammo, artillery, backpacks, whatever they’re doing there” — he hopes they’re giving these commanders plenty of body bags , because “they will definitely be needed.”
During this briefing, it also became known that North Korean troops lost a thousand dead and wounded in the Kursk region only in the last week.
It should be noted that on Friday, December 27, South Korean intelligence confirmed the capture of a wounded North Korean soldier who fought on the side of Russia by the Ukrainian military.
Later, South Korean intelligence officers, citing data from a “friendly country”, reported that he had died.
The Pentagon had previously predicted an increase in casualties among North Korean troops who continue to participate in battles in the Kursk region.
At the same time, American intelligence services believe that the deployment of North Korean troops in the Russian Federation was the idea of North Korea, not Russia.
