Russian soldiers revolt against recruits from North Korea

The landing in Russia of nearly 3,000 North Korean soldiers has not been well received by Russian soldiers. They have raised concerns about how North Korean soldiers will be commanded and equipped with ammunition and military equipment.

The news was made known by CNN, thanks to an investigation of talks between Russian soldiers.

Russian soldiers speak disparagingly of the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed "Battalion K," at one point referring to them as "the Chinese king." In the same extract, one soldier describes another who is tasked with "meeting people".

 

"He's there, but how the hell is he standing there with his eyes out." He came here and says what the hell to do with these soldiers from North Korea", audio from the conversation of Russian soldiers.

 

The audio was intercepted by encrypted Russian broadcast channels on the night of October 23, according to Ukraine's Defense Intelligence Agency. Ukraine's analysis of the intercepts revealed that North Korean troop movements were planned for the morning of October 24, in the area of ​​the field camp in Russia's Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a surprise incursion earlier this year. The wiretapping also reveals plans to have one translator and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean soldiers, which Russian soldiers are heard on audio condemning as a process.

 

"The only thing I don't understand is that there should be three senior officers for 30 people. Where will we get them? We will have to attract them. I'm telling you, tomorrow 77 battalion commanders will come, there are commanders, deputy commanders and so on", audio from the conversation of Russian soldiers.
