Ukrainian soldiers have shared the most chilling things they have witnessed from North Korean troops including gnawing their own veins.
Several of Volodymyr Zelensky's troops revealed that North Korean soldiers refuse to be taken alive. It comes after they arrived last month to support the Russians on the frontline. The troops said they had witnessed North Koreans blow themselves up, with one fighter even screaming "for Kim Jong Un", before using an explosive.
One commander described the strength of the teams helping Vladmir Putin's troops. He said the North Korean's are more "disciplined" and told Sky News: "They are far more disciplined, with exceptional morale and determination - completely brainwashed, really."

The latest report comes after a senior military source, based in the city of Sumy, gave outsiders an insight into what the North Korean troops are like. He described harrowing scenes from the frontline and said that one soldier tried to bite his own wrists after being injured in the Kursk region.
He told The Independent: “He didn’t realise, at first, that Ukrainian soldiers were closing in on him. When he realised that he was being captured by Ukrainians, he rushed at a concrete pillar [telegraph pole] and hit his head against that pillar with all his strength in the hope of killing himself.”

The sergeant, from Pyongyang, was later named as Lee Jong Nam. The 25-year-old initially suffered from a jaw injury. He reportedly said that he was the only survivor after the officers he was with all died. There was another survivor but he was put into Ukrainian custody and began to harm himself, according to the source.
They added: "When this guy was transported to Kyiv and someone from the special forces searched him, they found a small blade sewn into his pants. He was hoping to cut himself as soon as he was left alone." It comes after a former North Korean soldier lifted the lid on the culture among troops. He previously told Reuters: "Self-detonation and suicides: that’s the reality about North Korea. These soldiers who left home for a fight there have been brainwashed and are truly ready to sacrifice themselves for Kim Jong Un."
