North Korean troops cause chaos with mistaken identity blunders
A Russian prisoner of war in Ukrainian captivity has revealed how North Korean soldiers behave. He stated that they mistakenly opened fire on their allies because, for them, "all Slavs look the same." This excerpt from an interrogation was published on Telegram by Ukrainian journalist Denys Kazanskyj.
According to the Belsat.eu portal, intriguing stories about North Korean soldiers were recounted by a Russian captive who ended up in Ukrainian custody.
The Russian spoke about at least one incident where Asian soldiers mistakenly opened fire on their allies in the Kursk region, near Hlushkovo. His testimony was shared by a Ukrainian journalist.
There is no talking to them. They started shooting at us, perhaps in panic, because they mistook us for the enemy. For them, all Slavs look the same," says the Russian prisoner in the recording.
The Russian directly expresses his dissatisfaction with such allies. He discusses the potential scandal that could arise if a North Korean soldier were killed.
He emphasises that the Russian command does not respond to complaints and that, for example, due to language barriers, it's easier for them to send Russian soldiers into assault.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, citing military intelligence data, reported yesterday about the arrival of 11,000 North Korean soldiers in Russia's Kursk region. According to Ukrainian intelligence, these are mainly light infantry soldiers for assault tasks.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, at least 28 military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces were used to transport them near the front.
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department believes that Moscow has deployed about 10,000 North Koreans in this region.
