Secret footage just released by the Ukrainian military shows why it has been almost impossible to capture a North Korea soldier alive.
To prove there were North Korean’s fighting for the Russians, a small specialized team was sent in to locate and extract a North Korea soldier alive. After secretly monitoring a North Korean team from a concealed position for an extended period of time, a small special Ukrainian team moved in and captured the North Korean.
“Do you think there is some kind of order from the high command to not be taken alive?” a reporter asked one of the soldiers responsible for taking the North Korean soldier alive.
“I think so,” he responded.
The soldier’s identity has been concealed for security purposes.
The soldier continued to point out how the Russians began shelling the location of the soldier with a barrage of artillery and mortar rounds in the location where the wounded North Korean was, in hopes to keep him from being captured alive.
“Is it true Russians can also kill wounded Koreans and their own soldiers so they don’t get captured?” the interviewer asked.
“Yes,” the soldier replied. “In the area where we worked, the Russians did not use artillery at all…but when we captured the Koreans – they were shooting everything at us.”
After spending time with him, the Ukrainian soldier revealed that the North Korean was simply “a young boy. There was nothing ‘super soldier’ about him.” This description is indicative of the young boys that Kim Jong Un is exploiting for money. North Korea is badly in need of cash and support from the outside world. It seems that the way to bring in money for the North Korean Communist Party is to send their boys to die in Russias war.
When asked what makes a North Korean soldier different than a Russian soldier, the Ukrainian said that the North Koreans are much younger and more resilient. “The Russians surrender in droves,” the solider said, but the North Koreans never give up.
“[The North Korean soldiers] can carry a lot, can run for a long time, and can survive in much harsher conditions.”
However, because of the poverty of the country, it seems there are a few things that they were not prepared for. They have never seen drones before and are not familiar with the threat of a drone.
BTJ is currently working in North Korea and much of what the missionaries report back seem almost unreal, however this rare glimpse of North Koreans in the outside world shows just how inhumane the current regime really is.
