South Korean news agency confirms that 10k North Korean soldiers will be fighting against Ukraine https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20241018006856315
@anneapplebaum 10k is around 1 week of casualties at the current rate... and it's safe to assume that russia will meatgrind them.
I wish them a good chance to surrender or desert. Poor guys.

Sounds like one of those cases where Russia positions convict units behind them, to shoot them if they try to retreat or defect.
The other, even darker, possibility is that's the job Russia is importing the North Koreans to do, against Russian soldiers.
