Gyeong Hong Jong, a North Korean special forces operative who was killed by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) operatives in Kursk Oblast, has left behind a diary that is now being gradually translated. His notes reveal that North Korea has sent elite fighters to Russia.
The United States said that North Korean soldiers fighting against Ukraine on the side of Russia in Kursk Oblast are committing suicide to avoid being captured by the Ukrainian defence forces.
Christ. It’s doubly heartbreaking that life as a POW might actually be the highest standard of living they would’ve experienced thus far had they just been captured.
Well, the party and those who faithfully serve it probably live a pretty nice life. I’m assuming, based on other totalitarian parties throughout history.
Remember the solider who escaped by crashing the border? Dude was infested with parasites and malnourished. My guess is the only military personnel living well are no less than a General
They could probably live in some sort of witness protection situation in South Korea, but I guess that’s still a shitty life if you want to see your family again.

Ah, yeah but not at the lower levels like this soldier.
I feel certain that any allegiance he expressed was to protect the well being of his family, rather than a genuine position.
That makes sense, you’re probably right

The problem is what happens to their family if they’re reported as captured :(
