and Putin, I suspect that the Ukrainians have it out for the North Koreans, who joined their Russian brothers and voila, what a welcoming party the North Koreans received.

Perhaps being all full of dogma doesn't prepare someone for actual combat, which the Ukrainians have loads of skills and experience.

And I heard that a lot of these North Koreans are jumping ship, if so, good. And, I'm sure that some of the South Koreans are there in an advisory role for the Ukrainians too. Good too!

They don't speak Russian, and have little experience.

They were just sent to be part of the meat grinder.

The lithium/NG deposits might be why Zelensky is waiting for Trump....he's gonna make Trump understand the value of US/EU support against Putin's aggression.
