Ukraine war: North Korean soldiers received orders to kill themselves if caught

In the war going on between Russia and Ukraine (Russia-Ukraine War), North Korean soldiers are fighting on behalf of Russia. It has been claimed that 300 such soldiers have been killed. A South Korean MP, citing his country's National Intelligence Service (NIS), has said that North Korea has ordered its soldiers to kill themselves before being caught.
He has claimed that about 300 North Korean soldiers fighting against Ukraine have been killed. These soldiers have been ordered to commit suicide to avoid being captured. 2,700 North Korean soldiers have been injured in this battle. Lee claimed that these soldiers were from North Korea's elite Storm Corps. Memos found with the killed soldiers revealed that they were pressured by North Korean officials to commit suicide or blow themselves up before being captured.
When caught, the soldier tried to explode a grenade.
Lee said that recently a North Korean soldier was captured in Ukraine. He shouted "General Kim Jong Un" and tried to detonate a grenade. At that moment Ukrainian soldiers shot him. Some soldiers fighting in Ukraine were "amnestied" or wanted to join North Korea's ruling party.
In fact, South Korea had claimed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had sent more than 10,000 soldiers to help Russia fight Ukraine. Russia has given North Korea Russian technology for nuclear weapons and satellite programs. In return, North Korea has given it its soldiers. According to South Korea's intelligence agency, North Korean soldiers lack an understanding of modern combat. They were used as "cannon fodder". Due to this, they suffered a large number of casualties.
