Publication of The Telegraph published a video showing Russian soldiers on the front lines conducting training for the North Korean military. This video became another proof of the growing military cooperation between the Russian Federation and North Korea, which causes concern of the international community due to the possible increase in the participation of foreign allies in the conflict.
It was filmed how Russian soldiers teach North Korean troops martial arts and the Russian language.
In the video, Russian military instructors show a small group of Pyongyang soldiers preparing to go to the front line.

The training is interrupted when the North Koreans do not understand what they are supposed to do. One newly minted soldier points to a word on a sheet of paper and asks his Russian instructor how to pronounce it.
Last month, a representative of South Korean intelligence reported that Russia was training the North Korean military.
In an intercepted phone call, made public by Ukrainian intelligence in October, Russian soldiers expressed doubts that there would be enough translators for the foreign forces under their command. A Russian officer was heard promising that one interpreter would be assigned to each group of 30 North Korean soldiers.
The US has confirmed that North Korean troops have begun combat operations against Ukrainian forces.
Vedant Patel, a spokesman for the State Department, said:
“More than 10,000 North Korean soldiers were sent to eastern Russia, and most of them moved to the far western Kursk region, where they engaged in combat with Russian forces”.
