![Killing allies, 'extreme choice'...The brainwashed North Korean military's "Cruel Death" [Now News]](https://image.ytn.co.kr/general/jpg/2025/0101/202501011743430003_t.jpg)
It has been revealed that the North Korean military deployed to the Ukrainian front is being forced to make extreme choices in a devastating battle situation.
In particular, cases of direct executions of allies to prevent surrender have been confirmed, adding to the shock of the international community.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said there are frequent reports of North Korean soldiers killing themselves on the battlefield instead of surrendering.
This is attributed to the fear that the family remaining in North Korea will be punished for the captured soldiers.
This fear is leading to extreme measures to block the possibility of surrender.
President Zelensky said cases of North Korean soldiers executing fellow soldiers, including wounded soldiers, had been confirmed, and criticized as an inhumane strategy by Russia and North Korea to block the possibility of surrender.
In addition, the body of the dead North Korean soldier is said to be being burned down by Russian forces to hide his identity.
In fact, Ukraine's information that the faces of North Korean soldiers were found burned was also released.
President Zelenskyy posted a video of the situation on Telegram, stressing that the North Korean military is "not receiving even the least amount of protection" on the battlefield.
North Korean soldiers are generally thoroughly brainwashed, recklessly following orders, and often decide to give up their lives instead of surrender.
Some soldiers appear to have been dispatched to be pardoned for their criminal backgrounds, and a dead soldier's diary said, "I can't forgive my sins, but my country gave me a new opportunity."
Experts analyze that the North Korean military is effectively being treated as a "consumable" on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield.
The North Korean military's disastrous treatment is likely to worsen as the fighting situation intensifies, and the number of casualties is expected to increase.
