A surrendering North Korean soldier risked his life by refusing to drop his sausage at gunpoint, according to the Ukrainian paratroopers who captured him.
A detailed video account, published by Ukrainian special forces, described how the soldier refused to lay down his food, while one of his compatriots tried to kill himself by running into a pillar.

They later asked to watch Korean romance films, the Ukrainians said.
“He was lying there, with his head and an arm wounded. He had a grenade, a knife and a sausage on him,” one of the soldiers of Ukraine’s 95th Air Assault Brigade said.
“I asked him to drop everything, but he refused to drop the sausage because it was food, so we let him keep it.”
The brigade captured the two North Koreans alive on Jan 11 – the first of Pyongyang’s troops to be taken back to Kyiv for questioning.

After a failed North Korean assault on Ukrainian positions, the paratroopers said they found the first soldier lying in a trench, his head and arm wound
