18 servicemen from North Korea have already fled their positions on the border between the Bryansk and Kursk regions of Russia. This occurred seven kilometers from the state border with Ukraine.

Intelligence sources disclosed this information to Suspilne.

According to the source, the motives for the escape have not been established, and the Russian army has begun searching for them. At the same time, Russian military officials are trying to conceal this information from higher command.

Earlier on October 14, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has referenced intelligence reports indicating North Korea’s de facto involvement in the ongoing war, after reports have emerged indicating that more than 20 soldiers were killed near Donetsk due to a missile strike on October 3, including six North Korean officers.
