    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said on Tuesday that “I think that if I were North Korean military personnel management, I would be questioning my choices on sending my forces to be cannon fodder in an illegal war against Ukraine.”

    Ryder was responding to a question about North Korea potentially dispatching army engineering units to Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, which is occupied by Russia.

    Earlier this month, Russia and North Korea signed a pact agreeing to give each other military assistance if the other is attacked.

    Countries including the US and Japan condemned the move, with South Korea saying it was considering sending weapons to Ukraine as a result.

    Ryder described North Korea potentially sending military forces to Russia as “certainly something to keep an eye on,” and hinted at the high number of Russian casualties throughout the war.

    A Russian soldier who plans offensives said this month that he has to send men forward knowing they will likely die, but doesn’t tell them how low their chances of survival are.
