A captured North Korean soldier refuses to give up a sausage at gunpoint | World | News

A captured North Korean soldier refused to hand over the sausage even though he was held at gunpoint by Ukrainian special forces.

UkraineThe 95th Air Assault Brigade captured two men on January 11, making it the first Pyongyang soldier to be taken for interrogation.

The paratroopers caught them while they were fighting Russia and posted a detailed video account of the incident on Telegram, revealing how one of them risked his life for food.

One of the soldiers said: “He was lying there, with his head and hand wounded. He had a grenade, a knife and a sausage with him. I asked him to drop everything, but he didn’t want to drop the sausage because of the food, so we let him keep it.”

The brigade forced both soldiers to surrender, and the other apparently tried to commit suicide by running into a pillar to avoid capture, losing consciousness.

Paratrooper “Ded” said: “We escorted him to the road where there were concrete pillars… and suddenly he ran away and hit his head on the pillar.”

The brigade added: “It is no secret that North Korean soldiers do not surrender to be captured, they are willing to commit suicide to avoid capture by Ukrainian soldiers.”

The North Korean was then given good medical treatment, after which he calmed down and “even asked to be shown romantic movies in Korean,” said Ukrainian soldier “Pavlo.”

Another soldier “Serhiy” also revealed how North Korean soldiers behave on the battlefield, claiming that they “fight like the Soviet army.” He said: “They are trying to crush us with numbers. There is no special tactic.

“They fight like the Soviet army. They only withdrew at the last critical moment, when our reinforcement group arrived and we outnumbered them. By then they were already wounded and dead.”

North Korean soldiers said they were issued fake Russian military IDs and thought they were being sent for training rather than fighting in the war, South Korea’s spy agency said.

Volodymyr Zelensky he said there will “undoubtedly be more” Pyongyang soldiers captured by his men as they appear to be acting as foot soldiers in Kursk.

Ukraine’s president believes that 4,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded so far after 12,000 troops were deployed to the border region in October.
