Some 18 North Korean soldiers are believed to have deserted the Russian frontline, with Kremlin fighters reportedly searching for them.
The troops were deployed in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk oblasts, about four miles from the border with Ukraine, when they deserted, the public broadcasting company of Ukraine, Suspilne, reported.
Intelligence officials cited by the broadcaster said the Russian military is searching for the North Korean soldiers, while commanders are trying to conceal the desertion from their higher-ups.
With how weirdly their army works, I doubt they have any chance in active warfare. Even if they didn’t plan fleeing, they are worse than cannon fodder, and deserting is the only thing they can probably do.
Fake signing up to commit war crimes in a sovereign nation and then use your deployment to escape the autocratic pariah state you lived in? Honestly that’s based af - good luck NK defectors!
An opportunity for North Koreans who do not work in embassies to leave their country more easily.

Lmao so their plan is basically to escape NK. Really hope their family is safe but then it’s a dictatorship…
