North Korean Soldiers Display Unusual Tactics on Ukrainian Frontlines

Recent interviews with Ukrainian soldiers have revealed significant insights into the operations of North Korean troops engaged in the conflict in Ukraine. According to a Ukrainian special forces commander, known by the codename "Puls," North Korean forces have temporarily retracted from frontline positions following substantial casualties.

The commander noted that upon their deployment, North Korean soldiers appeared ill-prepared for modern warfare, exhibiting a lack of awareness toward drone and artillery threats. They engaged in combat reminiscent of World War II, often attacking in large groups which made them easy targets for Ukrainian defenses.

Ukrainian troops have reported instances of North Koreans refusing to be captured, with some opting to detonate grenades rather than face surrender. There are claims of extreme loyalty, with soldiers reportedly shouting allegiance to Kim Jong Un before taking their own lives.

Despite their advanced military equipment compared to some Russian forces, including better rifles and uniforms, North Korea's troops lack heavy armor and often rely on makeshift transport to convey supplies. Reports indicate that they came equipped with limited provisions, primarily ammunition and chocolate, and shockingly, were without essential items such as water bottles.

As of now, both the North Korean and Russian governments have not confirmed the presence of North Korean troops on the battlefield. Ukrainian President Volodyr Zelenskyy has estimated that around 4,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or injured since their involvement in the conflict began.

The situation remains fluid, with indications that the North Koreans may soon return to the frontlines as they regroup and reassess their strategies. Intercepted communications suggest ongoing preparations for their potential reinforcements.
