The Ukrainian military has alleged that North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia are using fake Russian identification cards to conceal their identities.

According to local media outlet RBC-Ukraine, on Sunday, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) announced on social media that they discovered forged IDs of suspected North Korean soldiers killed in the Kursk region of Russia. The SOF also released photos of the documents.

The Ukrainian authorities stated, “The names of the deceased North Korean soldiers were Ban Guk Jin, Lee Dae Hyuk, and Cho Cheol Ho. Their Russian IDs listed Kim Kang Solat Albertovich, Dongnk Jang Surovich, and Belek Aganak Kap-oolovich.”

The IDs, which had a signature field written in Korean, lacked official institutional stamps and photos. All three listed the birthplace as the Tuva Republic, the hometown of former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.

According to the SOF, the signature field was one of the most striking aspects of the IDs. “The most interesting detail is the signatures, all written in Korean. This indicates where these soldiers truly came from,” they noted. The published photos show names written in Korean script in the signature section of the IDs.

Separately, RBC reported that Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces expressed dissatisfaction with the North Korean troops deployed in Russia.

According to the report, one prisoner of war described North Korean soldiers as rude and referred to themselves as “headless,” indicating they did not care about their actions or directions. He labeled them as crazy. Another captured soldier claimed that North Korean troops had engaged in shooting their fellow soldiers and instructors and had indiscriminately shot down drones, disregarding their nationality.
