The DPRK fighters, whom Russia involved in hostilities in the Kursk region against the Ukrainian army, impressed the Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, People's Deputy, ATO veteran, "cyborg" Roman Kostenko, with their fearlessness.
Kostenko stated this in an interview with BIHUS Info.
" The Russians did not have enough reserves, so North Korean soldiers were involved there. Who, I would say, played one of the, if not the key, then the very important roles there... in the Kursk region ," the People's Deputy said.
According to him, he spoke with eyewitnesses.
" I spoke with eyewitnesses, my guys worked there... Well, these are fearless soldiers, for whom life is a matter of life and death... They go into battle and not for the sake of some victory... well, it looks like it, for the sake of dying ," Kostenko said about the DPRK fighters.
He considers them good soldiers.
" Good soldiers... They are well trained. And they are fearless. I see the goal, I see no obstacles... They have families held hostage somewhere in North Korea, they should not surrender. They should only fight ," Kostenko said.
At the same time, he pointed to the huge losses among North Korean fighters in the Kursk region.
" They simply knocked us out of our positions with crazy losses there... They spent dozens, hundreds of their fighters on one position just to capture some of our positions... Russians don't fight like that ," said the secretary of the Rada's defense committee.
According to him, the Russians in the Kursk region used North Korean fighters in the most difficult situations.
" It seems that they used them in the most difficult areas... Therefore, I believe, they played one of the key roles here ," the People's Deputy noted.
As Apostrophe reported, Kostenko called for the shooting of people's deputies for sympathizing with the Russian Federation.
