Lee Seong-kweun of the ruling People Power Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the agency&#8217;s analysis of a combat video it obtained recently, the NIS said it attributed the &#8220;massive casualties&#8221; of North Korean soldiers to their &#8220;lack of understanding of modern warfare,&#8221; including their &#8220;useless&#8221; act of shooting at long-range drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency also said North Korea has stressed to its soldiers to kill themselves to avoid being captured alive by the Ukrainian military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on Ukraine&#8217;s recent video release of two wounded North Korean soldiers in Russia&#8217;s western Kursk region, Lee said: &#8220;The prisoner of war has not expressed his intention to come to South Korea.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the nearly three-minute footage released by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, one of the soldiers says he wants to remain in Ukraine when asked if he wishes to return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NIS assessed the two soldiers were with the Reconnaissance General Bureau, a key North Korean military intelligence agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously reported, Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region captured two North Korean soldiers.
