A detailed video account, published by Ukrainian special forces, described how the soldier refused to lay down his food, while one of his compatriots tried to kill himself by running into a pillar.

They later asked to watch Korean romance films, the Ukrainians said.

“He was lying there, with his head and an arm wounded. He had a grenade, a knife and a sausage on him,” one of the soldiers of Ukraine’s 95th Air Assault Brigade said in an interview published on Tuesday.

“I asked him to drop everything, but he refused to drop the sausage because it was food, so we let him keep it.”

I feel a bit sad for the NKs, you really have to wonder how much the world they know and if they’re really aware of what they’re even doing over there.

Everybody is coming from their own little North Korea. How much do you actually know about the world? Do you know everything about everything you're a part of? More than some, less than others.

Empathize with the man, but remember empathy is borne of understanding. Pity is borne of contempt.
