The diary of a North Korean soldier, presumably Chon Kyong-hon, who is believed to have been killed in Russia's Kursk region, was shared by Ukraine's Special Operations Forces back in early 2025 after its discovery.

“I, having left my homeland, on unfamiliar Russian land, send birthday congratulations to my friend Song Ji-myung”, cites The Sun, which described the gesture as an attempt to cling to normalcy amid the terrible battlefield the soldier faced.

Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda described other parts of the diary as more tactical, with one section detailing how to hunt down a drone.

The strategy described involves having a soldier acting as bait while two others, at a distance, try to shoot down the drone. 🤣

Finally, the third and (at the time) last translated part of the journal revealed that Gyeong was sent to fight into Russian soil for some alleged wrongdoing.

“Defending the homeland is the sacred duty of every citizen, and the greatest duty is to protect the nation, which is where my happiness lies”, wrote the fallen North Korean soldier, as quoted by Ukrainska Pradva.

“The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life”, admitted Yeong. “When we win the war and return to our homeland, I will submit a petition to the Party”.

According to The Sun, Gyeong was only 27 when he was shipped to war, alongside thousands of North Korean troops, to fight and die in Eastern Europe.

The Sun reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that 3,000 North Korean soldiers had been killed or wounded in Kursk, out of a speculated total of 12,000 who were deployed to Russia.

Zelensky claimed that Russian soldiers had routinely burned off the faces of fallen North Korean troops to hide their identities.

NBC News wrote that North Korean soldiers had also been reportedly taking their own lives rather than being captured by Ukrainian troops.

The Pentagon revealed that this is because North Korean soldiers fear harsh repercussions against their families if the regime led by Kim Jong-un discovers that they had been captured.
