SEOUL, Jan. 23 (Yonhap) -- Civic groups advocating human rights in North Korea sent an open letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday, urging him not to repatriate North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine while fighting for Russia.

All North Korean recruits are taught a song that includes a verse about saving their last bullet for themselves to avoid capture, one former soldier told NBC News.

A South Korean lawmaker said Seoul's intelligence showed some 3,000 North Korean troops have been wounded or killed in Kursk.

South Korea's military said Friday it believes North Korea is planning to send additional troops to Russia after its soldiers fighting in Ukraine suffered heavy casualties. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff also said in a report distributed to journalists that North Korea is continuing its preparations to test-fire an intercontinental ballistic missile intended to reach the United States.

South Korea’s military says it suspects North Korea is preparing to send additional troops to Russia after its soldiers already deployed on the Russian-Ukraine war fronts suffered heavy casualties.
