Ukraine captured and publicly interviewed a pair of them.
Which, as the article states, Ukraine has kept from being interviewed by anyone other than the Ukrainian Presidential Press service.
I don’t see any evidence of DPRK soldiers from the grainy videos you’ve posted. For months now, we’ve been getting 1080p Ukrainian drone footage of hits on Russians with such clarity that you can make out the soldiers’ stubble. Why did this clarity suddenly disappear when Ukrainian and South Korean Intelligence started pushing the idea that DPRK soldiers were actively fighting?
That’s standard for FPV drone videos. Ground interference reduces the signal in the last second, and you aren’t putting 4k cameras on the one-time-use drones that get poor and EWed signal to start with. Link one has many faces seen, link two even also has a closeup at 4:27. The interviews are also full of closeups in high res.
You can choose to ignore the combat footage of North Koreans soldiers dying for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, you can ignore the interviews of captured North Koreans in Ukraine, you can ignore the intel reports from the US, Ukraine, and South Korea if you want. You can choose to believe whatever you want.
