Pyongyang, as part of military cooperation with Moscow, sent at least 10,000 North Korean soldiers to the terrorist state, who, after retraining, began to participate in the war against Ukraine.

As NBN reports with reference to the material of the Center for National Resistance (CNS), in the Kursk direction, the Russian generals are not involving mercenaries from the DPRK in direct combat operations, keeping Kim Jong-un's soldiers “in the second echelon.”
As it became known, the North Koreans were reassigned to the command of the 11th airborne assault brigade, and Russian officers prefer to involve these mercenaries in carrying out duties at observation posts and checkpoints or patrolling areas of concentration of Putin's army.
Thus, by effectively engaging these militants in other tasks, the Kremlin is freeing up more Russians from the rear positions, throwing them into the meat grinder on the front lines, since the life of a “liberator” is worth nothing, if we compare the price with hiring a North Korean.
Earlier, we wrote about the GUR answering whether Pyongyang would be able to increase its contingent in the Russian Federation to 100,000 fighters.
