A Ukrainian news outlet has published a video showing the capture of a North Korean soldier, as South Korea's spy agency said Kim Jong Un has pulled troops from Russia's Kursk region. Newsweek has contacted the Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment.

SEOUL: North Korean soldiers previously fighting alongside Russia's army on the Kursk front line appear not to have been engaged in combat since mid-January, South Korea's spy agency told AFP on Tuesday (Feb 4),

The commander described the North Korean troops as "cannon fodder" and said their behavior in combat was erratic.

Ukraine`s Special Operations Forces fighters who captured the North Koreans share their story with RBC-Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers explain how they managed to capture the DPRK military and what the Koreans say about Russia's war against Ukraine.
