In October last year, it became known that North Korea sent soldiers to the war in Ukraine, to fight on Russia’s side.
There are many question marks surrounding the presence of the North Koreans, both how many have actually been sent and what their capabilities look like.
Swede Christopher Forsbäck is in Kursk, an area of Russia occupied by Ukraine, and says he met several North Korean soldiers in combat.
– They are not a problem at all. They are food for the meat grinder, nothing else, he says.
According to Christopher Forsbäck, the North Koreans’ tactics are outdated.
– To line up in a line and walk across an open field, that doesn’t work today.
