Reports
have surfaced that North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia have already
engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces, resulting in casualties.有报道称，部署在俄罗斯的朝鲜士兵已经与乌克兰军队交战，并造成了人员伤亡。
On
Oct. 28 (local time), Jonas Ohman, head of the Lithuanian NGO Blue/Yellow,
which provides aid to Ukraine and its military, informed local media outlet
LRT, stating, “The first encounter between a Ukrainian unit we support and
North Korean soldiers occurred on the 25th in Kursk. To my knowledge, all of
the North Korean soldiers, except for one, were killed. The surviving soldier
was found carrying identification as a Buryat.”当地时间10月28日，向乌克兰及其军队提供援助的立陶宛非政府组织“蓝/黄”(Blue/Yellow)负责人约纳斯·奥曼(Jonas Ohman)告知当地媒体《立陶宛广播电视》(Lithuanian
Radio and Television)：“10月25日在库尔斯克州，我们支持的一支乌克兰部队与朝鲜士兵首次冲突。据我所知，除一人幸存外，所有朝鲜士兵均被击毙。幸存的士兵被发现携带了布里亚特人的身份证明。”
Buryats
are a Mongolian ethnic group indigenous to the Republic of Buryatia, a Russian
republic located just north of Mongolia. Speculation has arisen that Russia may
issue Buryat identification to North Korean soldiers to present them as Russian
nationals.布里亚特人是布里亚特共和国(位于蒙古以北的俄罗斯共和国)的土著蒙古族人。有人认为，俄罗斯可能会向朝鲜士兵发放布里亚特人身份证明，以显示他们是俄罗斯国民。
Since
2014, Blue/Yellow has actively supported the Ukrainian military, often
obtaining intelligence directly from Ukrainian military sources. Many of these
reports have later been verified through official channels.自2014年以来，“蓝/黄”组织一直积极支持乌克兰军方，经常直接从乌克兰军方渠道获取情报。其中许多报告后来都通过官方渠道得到了核实。
Ohman
commented, “We have known for some time that North Korea was preparing to join
the conflict in Ukraine. Initial indications surfaced six months ago when North
Korean soldiers began training alongside local units in Belarus.”奥曼评论说：“我们知道朝鲜准备加入乌克兰冲突已有一段时间。六个月前，当朝鲜士兵开始在白俄罗斯与当地部队一起训练时，就出现了初步迹象。”
He
further noted, “There were also unverified reports of infiltration into
Ukraine’s Donetsk region by small groups, including intelligence operatives and
engineers. Several months ago, a drone strike supported by our organization
marked the first reported North Korean casualty in Ukraine.”奥曼进一步指出：“还有未经核实的报告称，包括情报人员和工程师在内的小股部队渗透到了乌克兰顿涅茨克州。几个月前，我们组织支持的一次无人机袭中，朝鲜军人首次在乌克兰出现伤亡。”
Prior
to this more extensive deployment, North Korea had reportedly sent personnel to
Russia for quality control and training related to weaponry supplied to Moscow.
Earlier, on Oct. 3, Ukrainian media reported that six North Korean officers were
killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on the eastern front in Donetsk.据报道，在这次更大规模的部署之前，朝鲜曾派遣人员前往俄罗斯，就提供给莫斯科的武器装备进行质量控制和培训。10月3日早些时候，乌克兰媒体报道称，6名朝鲜军官在乌克兰对顿涅茨克东部前线的导弹袭击中丧生。
