Russia sent a general to the front in the Kursk region, as the DPRK military complained that they were not getting enough to eat, reports Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

According to intelligence, dissatisfaction with insufficient rations has grown among DPRK army personnel stationed in the Kursk region.

“To solve the problem of hungry North Koreans, Russia sent Major General Mevlyutov, deputy commander for resource support of the Leningrad Military District, to the Kursk fields,” the DIU said.

The Russian general ordered to issue individual rations to the DPRK army from the food reserves of the 11th Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.

If the North Koreans are complaining about insufficient rations, they must be getting close to nothing to eat.

1. You know things are bad when the starving North Koreans are complaining about your rations.

That's really bad. They already get scraps back home. What are they getting from Russia? Scraplets? Scrappits? A kungry?!

2. I seem to recall that the DPRK military are well fed

Certainly compared to the rest of the population.

A hungry army is a potentially rebellious one so Kim Jong Un makes sure that the military gets enough rations.

4. Not sure I'd call it "well fed" when the comparison is starving civilians.

"The nutrition levels of soldiers in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) vary depending on rank, role, and the country's overall food supply situation. Historically, the North Korean military is prioritized for resources, including food, as it is a central institution in the state's political and security apparatus. This means that soldiers, particularly officers and those in elite units, are generally better fed compared to the civilian population, especially during times of food shortages.

However, reports from defectors and external analysts suggest that even regular soldiers may face malnutrition or insufficient rations during periods of severe food scarcity, which North Korea has experienced repeatedly over the decades. This is particularly true for lower-ranking conscripts, who might rely on food contributions from their families or foraging during service. The situation is often worse for rural garrisons and units far from Pyongyang, as resources tend to be concentrated in the capital and elite forces.

Overall, while the military likely fares better than civilians in terms of food security, the extent to which soldiers are "well-fed" depends heavily on the nation's economic and agricultural conditions at a given time." -- ChatGPT

3. So, the answer to this is give the NK soldiers better food than

Russian soldiers?
