North Korean soldiers fighting in Europe are “devouring” pornography, claims Financial Times columnist. The Pentagon neither denies nor confirms it, concerned about “more serious matters.”
The topic began circulating on social media following a post by an award-winning Financial Times journalist and columnist who normally writes on international affairs. In X, Gideon Rachman told one of the alleged side effects of the arrival of North Korean troops in Europe to join Russia’s war effort against Ukraine.
“A reliable source tells me that the North Korean military who were sent to Russia had never had unlimited access to the Internet before,” Gideon Rachman begins in a post shared this Tuesday. Next, the journalist reveals the causes of unbridled access to online content: since its arrival in Europe, the North Korean army has been “devouring pornography”.
A generally reliable source tells me that North Korean soldiers deployed in Russia have never before had unlimited access to the Internet. As a result, they are devouring pornography.

The issue gained even more prominence when the spokesperson for the North American Department of Defense commented on it. Charlie Dietz neither confirmed nor denied the information. The official noted, cited by Politico, that the United States “I can’t check North Korea’s extracurricular habits”.
The Pentagon is, according to Charlie Dietz, more concerned about “more serious issues” in the relationship between North Korea and Russia.
“As for Internet access, this is an issue that would be better addressed in Moscow. “Currently, our focus remains on supporting Ukraine and working on larger regional concerns.”, concluded Charlie Dietz.
