One of the surviving North Korean soldiers said Russia ‘betrayed’ and ‘fooled them’ to fight against Ukraine
CRACK Ukrainian troops have already wiped out at least 40 “elite” North Korean soldiers deployed by Vladimir Putin to regain his invaded Kursk territory.
It comes just days after thousands of soldiers from Pyongyang were sent deep inside Russia to help Moscow win its bloody war against Ukraine.
Evil Putin and ruthless dictator Kim Jong-un have been forging a close relationship to form what has been dubbed an “Axis of evil” against the West.
The tubby tyrant is now committed to helping out a desperate Putin – who has been losing a record number of men – to win back Kursk.
He has sent 10,000 troops to help them fight off Kyiv’s troops in the Kursk region and win the “holy war”.
However, up to 40 North Korean soldiers have already been killed during their first engagement with Ukrainian troops in Kursk.
One severely wounded survivor who is now being treated in a field hospital said: “Russian dogs rushed us to attack,” but that the Ukrainians had “covered us in artillery and drones”.
Speaking of the bloodbath assault from Kyiv, which happened near the village of Lyubimovka, he said: “There were forty of us, but all are dead.
“I am all alone here now, I have nothing left to lose.”

North Korean troops are likely to suffer heavy losses in Ukraine, potentially exceeding those of Russia, Estonian Colonel Ants Kiviselg, head of the Estonian Defense Forces Intelligence Center, told the Estonian public broadcaster ERR on Nov. 1.
The first North Korean soldiers were deployed to Russia’s Kursk Oblast in late October, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) reported earlier. North Korea has sent nearly 12,000 troops to Russia, including 500 officers and three generals, according to HUR.
North Korean soldiers are usually trained to fight in mountainous terrain, which means they are not familiar with Ukrainian territory, its climate, and geography, Kiviselg said.
“Their training does not include combat operations in such conditions, and the training they receive in the Russian Federation is certainly not of a very high level,” Kiviselg said.
“Therefore, we can expect North Korean units to suffer heavy losses in Ukraine, and probably even more than the Russian Federation’s forces have suffered so far.”
He said that the North Korean troops arrived in Kursk Oblast in “early October,” having previously undergone two to four weeks of training. Following this, North Korean soldiers redeployed to the “Ukrainian front,” Kiviselg added.
