NORTH Korean troops scrambled to fight for desperate Vladimir Putin are reportedly fleeing from their positions before even reaching the frontlines.
Thousands of soldiers from Pyongyang were deployed – with many more yet to arrive – deep inside Russia to help Moscow win its bloody war against Ukraine.

What was a just speculation up until a few days ago has now become certain as top US authorities today confirmed North Korean military presence on the Russian side.
They said at least 3,000 soldiers have put their boots on Putin’s land to receive military training before being deployed to the frontlines.
And many more are yet to come as North Korea aims to deploy a total of 10,000 soldiers by the end of the year.
But amid the chaos, reports have emerged showing more than a dozen North Korean soldiers have already abandoned their positions to “save their own lives”.
Cruel Russian authorities have detained at least 18 soldiers who were found some 40 miles away from their designated military positions, The Kyiv Independent reports.
They were trying to escape after reportedly being left inside a forest in Kursk without food and other essentials for days.
A source from Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence told The Kyiv Post: “It was established that the North Koreans were training Russian soldiers in the use of balloons for military purposes.
“Meanwhile, the Russian soldiers were teaching the North Koreans modern infantry combat tactics.”
Tyrant Putin and ruthless dictaoitor Kim Jong-un have been forging a close relationship to form what has been dubbed an “Axis of evil” against the West.
And Pyngoing is now committed to helping out the desperate Russian leader to win his meatgrinder war against Ukraine.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said there is “evidence” that North Korea has sent troops to Russia on Monday, dubbing it a serious issue.
He told reporters today: “There is evidence of DPRK troops in Russia … what exactly they’re doing is left to be seen.
“We’re trying to gain better fidelity on it.” It’s a serious issue.”
North Korean forces are said to be going in with the mission of helping Russia push back Ukraine’s forces so Putin can gain back his lost territory, Ukraine’s military intelligence has claimed.

Austin previously said that a deployment of North Korean soldiers in Russia would “raise concerns” in the US.
While Mark Rutte, Nato’s Secretary-General, added that such a development “would mark a significant escalation”.
Dramatic videos from the Far East of Russia allegedly shows Kim’s soldiers being given battlefield equipment and taking part in strict military training.
One video being shared online is said to feature a voice saying: “The handsome allied soldiers from North Korea have arrived.
“I hope the war will now end.”
Russia and North Korea have so far denied the troop movements.
Pyongyang said reports of them sending troops abroad are simply “groundless rumours”.
Despite Kim’s cronies brushing off the claims, South Korean intelligence reports that troops are being issued fake military IDs before being shipped off to Siberian regions like Yakutia and Buryatia.
‘DON’T DIE ON FOREIGN SOIL’
Ukraine has asked North Korean troops to surrender rather than die for their dictator.
A message written in both Korean and Russian says: “We appeal to the fighters of the Korean People’s Army not to die senselessly on foreign soil.
“You should not repeat the fate of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers who will never return home.
“Surrender now and Ukraine will shelter you, feed you and warm you.”
A video shared by Kyiv’s forces shows a PoW camp built to accommodate North Korean troops who choose to surrender.
It says: “The prisoners of war in the camp will be kept in large, warm and bright rooms with separate sleeping quarters.
“They will receive three meals a day, including meat, fresh vegetables and bread.”

DESPERATE VLAD
Officials have also detected signs that North Korea is relocating family members of soldiers chosen to be sent to Russia to special sites to isolate them.
World leaders say if North Korean troops are seen in Ukraine then it would be a clear sign of desperation from a paranoid Vlad.
Finland’s President Alexander Stubb told Reuters: “We’re just seeing how desperate Russia is.
“Its allies are not too many around this world.
“It relies on Iranian weapons, it relies on North Korean soldiers. How much worse can it get?”
It comes as the North Korean despot has also been supplying tens of thousands of containers of weapons to Russia for its illegal invasion.
Kim has sent 13,000 shipping containers carrying arms to Russia for the war over a two-year period, one South Korean minister said.
Ammunition supplies are critical for Russia to continue prosecuting its war and killing innocent Ukrainians.
In January, Russia used North Korean missiles to blitz Ukraine for the first time killing at least 50 people.
At the end of last month, small North Korean tanks, named Bulsae-4, were even spotted fighting in Ukraine.
North Korea has denied supplying the Kremlin with ballistic missiles and artillery shells.
But reports say Kim has even pledged to send 15,000 tunnellers to Ukraine to dig a Hamas-style underground front.
Russia is using “dark” ships with their GPS turned off so they can’t be tracked to ship some of the containers.
In return, Putin is said to be protecting his pal at the UN by vetoing bodies supposed to enforce the sanctions against North Korea.
