North Korean troops headed to fight in Ukraine will "end up as mere cannon fodder," Joonkook Hwang, the South Korean ambassador to the UN, said.
As legitimate military targets, they will end up as mere cannon fodder, while the wages they are supposed to receive from Russia will end up squarely in Kim Jong-un's pocket."
Pyongyang's treatment of its young soldiers, its own people, as expendable will be never forgiven," he added.
In April 2022, Ukraine's defense ministry said Russia was having trouble conscripting troops because people didn't want "to become cannon fodder for the occupier's army."
