North Korean soldiers are regarded as 'inadequately trained', hence Russian commanders have refrained from deploying them in Ukraine. They sent 12,000 troops, but battle readiness remains unachieved, largely due to poor training and insufficient logistical support, according to a Western official.
Ukrainian military intelligence spokesperson Andrii Cherniak contradicts the claims of inactivity, asserting that 'DPRK troops are involved in active hostilities'. He clarified that while they may not be deployed in frontline positions, they contribute to aggression against Ukraine and are responsible for the deaths of Ukrainian service members.
Reports suggest that DPRK troops are experiencing hunger and expressing dissatisfaction with their deployment in Russia, highlighting the tensions and difficulties in bridging the differences between North Korean and Russian military operations.
Intercepted communications from Russian soldiers reflect the frustrations regarding their North Korean counterparts, with one soldier lamenting, 'What the f*** are we supposed to do with them?' and commenting on the challenges of commanding troops that are deemed 'inadequately trained'.
