消息人士称，俄罗斯拘留了18名离开库尔斯克州阵地的朝鲜士兵

Russian authorities detained 18 North Korean soldiers who abandoned their positions in Russia's Kursk Oblast, a military intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 21.

10月21日，一名军事情报人士告诉《基辅独立报》(The Kyiv Independent)，俄罗斯当局拘押了18名从俄罗斯库尔斯克州阵地脱逃的朝鲜士兵。

Moscow's ally Pyongyang is preparing to deploy around 11,000 soldiers to help Russia's war against Ukraine early next month, Kyiv said, adding that some had already arrived.

乌克兰当局称，莫斯科的盟友朝鲜正准备在下月初部署约1.1万名士兵，以协助俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争，并说有些士兵已经抵达。

Eighteen of them had deserted their positions in Russian regions near the Ukrainian border, Suspilne reported on Oct. 15, citing unnamed intelligence officials.

10月15日，乌克兰公共电视台(Suspilne)援引未透露姓名的情报官员的话报道称，其中18人已逃离他们在俄罗斯靠近乌克兰边境地区的阵地。

Hromadske reported, citing a military intelligence source, that around 40 North Korean soldiers had arrived in Russia to exchange skills with their Russian counterparts.

乌克兰独立电视频道(Hromadske)援引军事情报人士的话报道称，约40名朝鲜士兵已抵达俄罗斯，与俄罗斯士兵交流技能。

After the training, the 18 North Koreans were left in a forest in Kursk Oblast near Kolyachek, without food or clear instructions on plans for future operations for several days, leading to them abandoning their post to find the Russian command on Oct. 14.

训练结束后，这18名朝鲜士兵被遗弃在库尔斯克州靠近科里亚切克市的一片森林中数日，没有食物，也没有人给他们明确指示下一步行动计划，因此，他们于10月14日离开阵地去寻找俄罗斯指挥部。

Two days later, the missing soldiers were found and detained by Russian authorities roughly 60 kilometers (almost 40 miles) from their original position, Hromadske wrote.

乌克兰独立电视频道称，两天后，这些失踪士兵被俄罗斯当局发现后拘押，距离他们原来的位置大约60公里远。

South Korea confirmed the transfer of North Korean military personnel to Russia, calling it a "grave security threat." U.S. Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Michael R. Turner said that such a step must constitute a "red line for the United States and NATO."

韩国证实了朝鲜军事人员被转调动俄罗斯的消息，称这是“严重的安全威胁”。美国情报特别委员会主席迈克尔·特纳(Michael R. Turner)说，这样的措施必将构成对“美国和北约的红线”。

A video that emerged online on Oct. 18 purportedly showed North Korean soldiers in a Russian military camp receiving equipment and preparing for deployment against Ukraine.

10月18日，网上传出的一段视频显示，朝鲜士兵在俄罗斯军营中接受装备，准备部署到乌克兰。

Russia and North Korea have deepened their cooperation throughout the full-scale war, with Moscow receiving extensive packages of artillery shells and ballistic missiles.

在全面战争期间，俄罗斯和朝鲜加深了合作，俄罗斯接收了大量炮弹和弹道导弹。
