From Belarus to Somalia: who, besides DPRK fighters, is fighting on Russia's side.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have captured mercenaries from various countries, starting from the Post-Soviet space, such as Belarus and Tajikistan, and ending with African countries like Somalia. This was reported by an officer of the 'Rubezh' brigade, Maksym Taran, in a comment for TSN.ua.

According to him, such mercenaries usually have no war experience and participate in it solely for quick money.

"In this regard, the North Korean military is even more dangerous because they possess certain military training and the ability to cooperate with each other. Even if they do not know Russian and do not understand the nature of this war, under certain conditions they can fight for survival and interact with each other. Therefore, if they are indeed intended for military activities, they will likely not be spared and will be sent to the front lines, and we will soon see them with our own eyes," said Maksym Taran.

It is reminded that Russians deliver DPRK mercenaries to the front using trucks with civilian license plates.

Earlier it was reported that by Friday, more than five thousand North Korean soldiers would be transferred to Kursk region.

Even the USA does not know the purpose of the DPRK troops going to the Kursk region.

By the way, North Korea will soon dispatch a second group of troops to Russia. This is reported with reference to South Korean intelligence data by Reuters and Bloomberg.

Additionally, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that by October 27-28, the first DPRK military personnel will be engaged by Russia in combat zones in eastern Ukraine.

South Korean intelligence states that North Korea has already sent approximately 3,000 military personnel to Russia to support Russian occupiers in the war against Ukraine.

As reported, North Korea's military reserves allow it to continue military actions for three months. The Yonhap agency states that DPRK factories have been able to operate at full capacity to meet the needs of the Russian armed forces in armaments.
