Missiles and artillery aren't going to located at front and therefore these troops are propably not going to be captured.
Ukraine has been claiming for months that north korean troops have been used in meatwave attacks not only in kursk but also in ukraine. Thousands of them have died. That is when the north koreans haven't been too poorly trained to be used by russians, drunk of their asses or addicted to porn. They have provided some incredibly shitty evidence for the presence of north koreans: intercepted radio/phone calls, ai fakes, photoshops, drone footage from half a kilometer away, photos/videos of asian russians bodies and captives (oh he died to his wounds oh well, oh this one has a broken jaw what a pity) etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Why did ukraine feel the need to use fake evidence if they have any real evidence?
Boy who cried north korean is saying that there are again north koreans. Are there? Who knows? But when a lying liar who lies is telling something, I somehow have hard time trusting them.
There are thousands of desperate north korean "defectors" whose only way of making living in their new paradise of a home is telling lies about north korea. The rat ate the boy. Police ate the rat. The north korean soldier fighting in ukraine ate the police. I was the north korean soldier. I am now safe as prisoner of war in ukraine. I am being treated well. Ukraine is awesome. Putin is dying.
