It can be interpreted as a situation where North Korean criminals were dispatched to the military.
“The sins I committed cannot be forgiven, but my country gave me a new chance in life.”
This content was included in the diary of Jeong Gyeong-hong, a low-ranking North Korean soldier who died, released by the Ukrainian Special Operations Command on the 28th (local time).
Mr. Jeong was dispatched to Russia’s Kursk region and was recently killed by a soldier from the Ukrainian Special Operations Command.
In his diary, Mr. Jeong said, “I was given the opportunity to be promoted in the company, but I abandoned the love and grace of the party that led me and committed an ungrateful act toward Comrade Supreme Commander… “The sins I committed cannot be forgiven, but Mother Korea gave me a new start in life and opened the way to rebirth,” it said.
He said, “I will run to the front of the ranks during this operation, and I will unconditionally and strictly follow the orders of Comrade Supreme Commander, even at the cost of my life. “We will show the world the undefeated bravery and sacrifice of Kim Jong-un’s red commandos,” he pledged.
He also wrote, “When I win this battle and return to my homeland, I will petition the Mother Party.”
Considering this, it is possible to interpret that some of the soldiers North Korea dispatched to Russia were criminals who were promised a pardon or reduced sentence upon their return.
There is also an analysis that North Korea sent ‘elite combatants’ rather than simple soldiers to Russia.
Previously, the Special Operations Command also released the body and ID card of the North Korean soldier who had the handwritten letter. In the signature line, the name ‘Jeong Gyeong-hong’ and the Russian name were written together.
He also released a handwritten letter.
North Korean troops are deployed in Kursk, Russia, which is occupied by Ukraine. Fierce fighting has recently occurred as Russia gathers forces with the North Korean army and attempts to retake Kursk.
