North Korean soldiers face internet shock amid Ukraine conflict
Soldiers from North Korea are participating in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Many of them are just now experiencing the outside world. Nexta reports that with their arrival at the war, they have gained access to the internet. They have started exploring unknown websites and have become addicted to some of them.
North Korea has joined Russia's side in the war in Ukraine. Kim Jong-un's soldiers are directly involved in the fighting, and the first reports of clashes are appearing online.
The Ukrainian Minister of Defence Rustem Umerov confirmed the information about the clashes between soldiers from Ukraine and North Korea. However, he did not want to disclose where exactly they took place. He only added that they were minor skirmishes.
It is not yet known what agreement Putin made with Kim that led the latter to decide to send his units to fight in Ukraine. Most likely, the dictator of North Korea will be expecting support in terms of military technology or resources.
North Korean soldiers addicted! They write about what they are watching online
For soldiers from North Korea, isolated by most of the world, being in Ukraine can be a harrowing experience. They are participating in a war for the first time, and it's a particularly brutal one. Many of them may not return to their country.
Information has appeared in the media about how North Korean soldiers are spending their time at the front. It turned out they have gained access to the internet and are using it frequently. Nexta, citing information published by Gideon Rachman, an international affairs journalist for the "Financial Times," reported on the addiction of North Korean soldiers to pornographic films.
It should be remembered that access to pornography in the country ruled by Kim Jong-un is strictly prohibited, and its distribution and viewing is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and even the death penalty if the amount of content is large. Therefore, in North Korea, people only have access to the national intranet, and they do not learn the truth about the surrounding world there.
