A staggering 1,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed in just three months of fighting in Russia's Kursk region as part of the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Why is North Korea sending troops to support Putin’s war effort, and what is the true cost of this involvement?
In January, Ukraine captured two North Korean soldiers, confirming the country's controversial role in the war. Western officials claim that Kim Jong Un has deployed 11,000 troops to aid Russia. However, the toll has been severe—nearly 4,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed, wounded, or captured, with 1,000 already confirmed dead.
North Korean forces are poorly trained, under-equipped, and vulnerable to Ukraine's advanced technology, including deadly FPV drones. Despite their numbers, their impact on the battlefield has been limited, leaving many to question the value of their involvement.
So, why is Kim Jong Un sending his soldiers to die in such a conflict? Some believe this could be an attempt to curry favor with Putin for future political leverage. However, the human cost of war is undeniable, and the long-term consequences are still unclear.
Join us as we dive into this shocking revelation and explore the broader implications of North Korea’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

00:00A shocking revelation from the front lines of the Ukraine conflict.
00:031,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed in just three months of battle in Russia's Kursk region.
00:09So, why is North Korea involved in this war, and at what cost?
00:14In January, Ukraine announced the capture of two wounded North Korean soldiers,
00:19sparking questions about their presence.
00:21According to Western officials,
00:23Kim Jong-un has sent 11,000 troops to aid Vladimir Putin's fight against Ukraine.
00:28But this so-called elite force is crumbling under extreme losses.
00:33Nearly 4,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed, wounded, or captured, 1,000 of them dead.
00:39These losses are staggering and unsustainable for Kim's forces.
00:44These soldiers are barely trained, says former British Army Colonel Hamish de Breton-Gordon.
00:49They've been thrown into battle as cannon fodder, with little chance of survival.
00:53North Korean troops are underprepared, poorly equipped,
00:57and vulnerable to Ukraine's deadly FPV drones.
01:00Ukraine's military has turned technology into a weapon,
01:03while North Korean tactics are rooted in outdated Soviet strategies.
01:08Despite their numbers, experts warn their impact on the battlefield is limited.
01:13But why is Kim Jong-un risking his soldiers' lives?
01:16Reports suggest it's an attempt to support Putin's war effort
01:20and possibly gain favor for future political leverage.
01:23Yet, the cost is extraordinary—not just for North Korea, but for global stability.
01:30The human cost of war continues to rise.
01:32What does the future hold?
