North Korean Troops Binge on Porn with Taste of Freedom in Russia

On October 18 (local time), footage emerged showing soldiers, believed to be North Koreans, receiving supplies at a military training facility in eastern Russia. The video was shared on the Telegram account of the Russian media outlet Astra. 

Footage shows soldiers, believed to be North Koreans, receiving supplies at a military training facility in eastern Russia on October 18. The video was shared on Astra’s Telegram account.

Gideon Rachman, the chief foreign affairs commentator of the Financial Times, claimed on social media that North Korean troops deployed to Russia are engrossed in pornography due to relaxed internet restrictions on Wednesday. He added that the information was obtained from a reliable source.

Rachman indicated that North Korean soldiers had never previously enjoyed unrestricted internet access. However, now that they do have access, they have become heavily immersed in pornographic content.

According to Politico, U.S. Department of Defense spokesperson Charlie Dietz stated they cannot confirm North Korea’s internet usage habits or online activities during off-duty hours. He suggested that inquiries regarding internet access should be directed to Russia, adding that their current focus is on supporting Ukraine and addressing more pressing regional security concerns.

While global standards limit Russia’s internet freedom, it’s considerably more open than North Korea’s tightly controlled cyberspace.

An estimated 10,000 North Korean troops are currently deployed in Russia, likely tasked with missions to reclaim the Kursk region occupied by Ukrainian forces.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported the first engagement with North Korean soldiers on Tuesday. The New York Times reported that many North Korean troops involved in the initial clash with Ukrainian forces were killed (citing a senior U.S. official).
