@dailymail: North Korean troops sent to support Russia are being used as 'human mine detectors' on the frontlines of the invasion of Ukraine. The soldiers are deployed across a battlefield until they are blown up one after another, according to a lieutenant of Ukraine's battalion, who revealed that their lives are worth little to their higher-ups. 'The North Koreans have a 'meat grinder' strategy. Where Ukrainians use a mine-clearing vehicle, they just use people,' he told the Times. 'They just walk in single file, three to four metres from each other, if one is blown up, then the medics go behind to pick up the dead, the crowd continues one after another. That's how they pass through minefields.' The lieutenant said that the soldiers sent by Kim Jong Un often refuse to be taken alive, preferring to be killed in battle or to simply run as their commanders stand by unfazed. The US estimates that 12,000 North Korean troops have been sent to fight for Russia - about 4,000 of whom have already been killed on the battlefield, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
