North Korean soldiers face internet's allure amid Ukrainian conflict
Soldiers from North Korea are participating in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Many of them are now experiencing what the outside world looks like for the first time. Nexta reports that with their involvement in the war, they have gained access to the Internet. They have started exploring unknown corners and have become engrossed in some websites.
North Korea has joined Russia's side in the war in Ukraine. Kim Jong-Un's soldiers are directly involved in the fighting, and the first reports of clashes are appearing online.
The Ukrainian Minister of Defence, Rustem Umerov, confirmed the information about the clashes between soldiers from Ukraine and North Korea. However, he did not want to disclose where exactly they took place, adding only that they were small-scale skirmishes.
It is not yet known what agreement Putin made with Kim that led him to decide to send his units to fight in Ukraine. Most likely, the North Korean dictator will be expecting support in terms of military technology or resources.
North Korean soldiers addicted! They write about what they are watching online
For soldiers from North Korea, isolated by most of the world, being in Ukraine can be a harrowing experience. They are participating in a war for the first time, and such a bloody one at that. Many of them may not return to their homeland.
Information has appeared in the media about how North Korean soldiers are spending their time on the front. It turns out they have gained access to the Internet and are using it frequently. Nexta, citing information published by Gideon Rachman, an international affairs journalist for the "Financial Times," reported on the addiction of North Korean soldiers to pornographic films.
It should be remembered that access to pornography in the country ruled by Kim Jong-Un is strictly prohibited, and its distribution and viewing can be punishable by up to 15 years in prison, or even the death penalty if a large amount of content is involved. Therefore, in North Korea, people only have access to a national intranet and do not learn the truth about the outside world there.
