TLDR

  • North Korean leader Kim Jong-un praised soldiers who self-destructed with bombs rather than be captured, admitting the army follows this 'suicidal attack' plan to defend honor.
  • Kim sent troops to Russia's Kursk region in 2024 to fight in Ukraine, with South Korea estimating 6,000 of 15,000 deployed soldiers have died.
  • Both North Korea and Russia initially denied, then admitted, the presence of North Korean soldiers fighting in Russia, following a mutual defense pact signed in 2024.

In a chilling display of Pyongyang's brutal military doctrine, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has openly lauded soldiers who chose self-destruction over capture. This admission confirms long-held suspicions that the regime enforces a 'suicidal attack' protocol, where soldiers detonate bombs to preserve their 'honor' rather than fall into enemy hands. This extreme tactic, highlighted in a recent speech, underscores the regime's absolute control and disregard for human life in its pursuit of ideological purity.

The article reveals the extent of North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine conflict, detailing Kim's decision to send troops to Russia's Kursk region in 2024. South Korean intelligence estimates a staggering 15,000 North Korean soldiers were deployed, with a devastating 6,000 casualties to date. This direct military intervention, coupled with promises to send thousands of workers for reconstruction, highlights the deepening ties between Pyongyang and Moscow, solidified by a mutual defense pact signed in the same year.

Initially, both North Korea and Russia attempted to conceal this military cooperation, denying any North Korean combat presence. However, the truth has since emerged, confirming the deployment of Kim's forces to the front lines. This revelation not only exposes the clandestine nature of their alliance but also raises serious questions about international security and the potential for further escalation as rogue states solidify their partnerships. The narrative presented by Veฤernji List emphasizes the shocking nature of Kim's public endorsement of such deadly tactics, framing it as a betrayal of humanity and a stark warning to the world.
