Make your own conclusions, but I think it seems pretty believable that there are DPRK troops in Ukraine. Doesn't seem like it changes the war regardless, but interesting update.

edit: according to a comrade of mine that speaks Korean, they said it's kinda hard to say. The last translation seems a bit off, like the person is overstating that he wants to stay in Ukraine, but it's still overall unverified that they are actually DPRK soldiers.

I'm kinda stumped on this one

Definitely battlefield experience and battle testing their weapons. No one wants to end up in a war and find out that their guns don't work, their missiles are inaccurate and their air defence can't intercept anything. It's the same reason Iran is sending their new domestically made anti ballistic missile defence systems to Russia for use in the war. They want to test them in real combat, and improve on any flaws.

A lot of the escalation between the DPRK and ROK was because of the now impeached ROK president and the Biden administration exempting the ROK from certain arms treaties, so the situation should calm down for now. But it will heat up again, maybe very soon. So it's always best to be prepared.
