“There are reports of North Korean soldiers taking their own lives instead of surrendering to Ukrainian forces,” a U.S. Security Council spokesperson said. The military took this step out of fear of Kim Jong Un's retaliation against his family. In addition, they often take part in desperate and senseless attacks. Ukrainian media calls them “zombie soldiers.”
– It is clear that the military leaders of Russia and North Korea treat these troops as expendable and order them to launch desperate attacks against the defense of Ukraine. “These North Korean soldiers appear to be highly indoctrinated and are carrying out attacks even when it is clear that the attacks are futile,” said US Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
According to him, this situation led to tragedy for some North Korean military personnel. Ukraine's Pravda website called them “zombie soldiers.”
– The spokesperson noted that there are reports of North Korean soldiers taking their own lives instead of surrendering to Ukrainian forces. He said soldiers may decide to take such steps out of fear for their families, who could be harassed if they surrender and are captured.
