What are the chances any of these soldiers are ever allowed back to their homeland? These people live in an information vacuum and I wonder if any will be allowed to return after getting access to the internet.
It has been reported that North Korean soldiers who have been deployed to Russia are “gorging on pornography” after being given unfiltered access to the internet for the first time.
The claim comes from Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs officer at the Financial Times, who said that a “usually reliable source” shared the news with him.
A spokesperson for the US Department of Defense responded after the claims concerning North Korea’s soldiers’ internet habits gained traction. Maj Charlie Dietz said he was unable to verify “any North Korean internet habits or virtual ‘extracurriculars’” in Russia.
“As for internet access, that’s a question best directed to Moscow,” Dietz said. “Right now, our attention remains on supporting Ukraine and addressing the more significant regional security concerns.”
Internet access is not widely available in North Korea, with only permitted high-level officials and foreigners granted access to international websites. North Korean citizens have access to Kwangmyong – an intranet system which is heavily regulated and mostly consists of political propaganda and scientific information.
