Over 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been reported killed or wounded while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Pyongyang is reportedly increasing military support, including the production of suicide drones, and sending additional troops. The presence of these soldiers has raised concerns over their operational methods and the Kremlin’s attempts to conceal their involvement. The North Korean military’s lack of modern warfare training may impact their effectiveness on the battlefield.
