"A usually reliable source tells me that the North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered access to the internet before. As a result, they are gorging on po*rnography,” wrote Financial Times foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman in an X post.

Rachman added no more context on how the internet habits of the 10,000 North Korean soldiers were influenced by unfettered internet but the report claims that the soldiers are now "gorging" on adult content.

US Defense Department spokesperson Army Lt Col Charlie Dietz was asked about the new habits adopted by the soldiers who were sent by North Korea's Kim Jong Un to fight along with Putin's soldiers. He said he could not confirm any "North Korean internet habits or virtual extracurriculars", The New York Post reported.
