War sucks man, these people didn’t want to be dragged to another country to die in some snow covered field.

That wasy thought as well. NK is a heavily propagandized population. Makes me wonder - What are they telling those soldiers, and do they believe it?

At least they got to see videos of girls dancing before they died. Those poor bastards got several North Korean lifetimes’ worth of dopamine thanks to cheap Android phones and relatively uncensored Russian SIM cards.
North Korea believes that the south was stolen by Western/US imperialism, and that it is Western influence that keeps it separate from unification under the Kim family. A whole "We're not the separatists. They are." kind of deal.
With the West currently being on the side of Ukraine's independence, the North Korean troops are probably being told that this is a fight against that imperialism, especially with Russia being former and now current enemy of the West.
One side-effect of Trump's pending plan to end that war will undoubtedly be sending some disillusioned, surviving Koreans back home, waiting any day for the reunification with their southern brothers.
I mean, there is an element of truth to all this. If we take our eye off that particular ball, so to speak, South Korea ends up reunifying with the North in a way they very much won't like.
Some Ukrainians have suggested that the North Koreans are counting and identifying all their fallen soldiers to make sure that nobody surrendered. Not sure how credible it is though.
This makes me so angry, Russia is deploying huge amounts of foreign troops in Europe and leaders are just like “we must not escalate” bruh are you paying attention right now
How the hell are they north Korean? You can’t even identify it from the photo? I see so much about the so called north Koreans in Ukraine but did not even see one credible photo that was not disproven to be just a guy from Mongolian regions of Russia. This is very absurd. Just a bunch of bodies lined up in snow and they somehow are north korean

A promise from 382 OBMP 810 OGVBRMP to everyone who doubted the joint work of our guys with foreign colleagues! We work in a well-known area of a well-known region
…explanation of the concept [near abroad] in Russian: " ‘The term originally had an ironic nuance,’ said the historian Ivan Ivanovich. ‘People spoke of nastoyashchyeye za rubezhye, “the present-day abroad.” But now the words have acquired a purely informational meaning, in order to distinguish the new states of the C.I.S. [ Commonwealth of Independent States, a title now in the dustbin of history ] from the “original” abroad.’ “

Ah yo, except samsung makes tanks too
Why do they line them up line that (and not rusdians)? Do they have to return them?
Fucking gruesome BTW.
Slava Ukraine!

To be honest I'd expect most militaries would want to identify their casualties
True, the Russians seem to be the exception to the rule in this conflict.

Foreign colleagues does not mean anything. It might as well be people from Mongolia or surrounding to Russia republics.
Don’t be disingenuous , even in native Russian it has distinction of worth:
