North Korean soldiers in Russia gained unrestricted internet access and traded combat for "adult videos."

North Korean soldiers who have arrived in Russia and are already engaged in battles in Kursk have discovered an unusual pastime. The reason lies in their unrestricted access to the internet. Instead of fighting, they are actively watching adult videos.

This was reported by Gideon Rachman, a British journalist for the Financial Times, citing his own sources. He noted that North Korean soldiers are literally "gorging" themselves on such content, as they previously lacked this opportunity.

"North Korean soldiers stationed in Russia have never had unrestricted access to the internet before. As a result, they have eagerly indulged in pornography," Rachman wrote on social media.

The journalist's post sparked significant interest and lively discussion. Many expressed the opinion that after these North Korean soldiers have experienced even a bit of freedom and seen another way of life, it is unlikely they will want to return to their country.

One user compared the soldiers' departure from their republic to a virus being released on an unprotected tribe. Another suggested "letting them into the world" more cautiously to avoid traumatizing them. Yet another joked that soon North Korean soldiers would start requesting political asylum, with the only condition being the availability of Wi-Fi.

North Korean Military in the War in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently stated that there are already 11,000 North Korean soldiers present in the Kursk region. Additionally, attention is also being paid to the Donetsk front. Among these North Korean military personnel are 500 officers, including 3 generals.

It is known that the North Korean soldiers who are already fighting in the Kursk region have been baptized by fire and have come under their first shelling. The North Korean troops have felt the impact of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, no details regarding the specifics of the shelling are currently available.

The United States and South Korea have urged China to use its influence on Russia and North Korea to prevent escalation, following Pyongyang's dispatch of thousands of troops to Russia in support of Moscow's war against Ukraine. Beijing is currently refraining from comments.

At the same time, the North Korean troops arriving in Russia to participate in the war against Ukraine are not the best representatives of Kim Jong-un's army. Among the fighters are young individuals in their twenties and even teenagers. They are all of short stature and slender build, indicating chronic malnutrition.
