It has been reported that former Captain Lee Gun is alive while the South Korean government is in the process of confirming the facts following receiving information that two of the Korean volunteers who entered Ukraine have died.
JTBC reported on the 23rd that a Korean who is competing in Ukraine said, “I have told you that I and former Captain Lee Gun are alive.”
The Korean volunteers who came into contact with JTBC claimed to have a contact network, although they were not with former Captain Lee Gun.
The South Korean government knows that there are four Koreans who have entered Ukraine without permission and have stayed until now.
A diplomatic official said, “It will take some time to confirm the facts regarding the death information only during the war.”
Former Captain Lee Gun told Instagram on the 30th of last month, “After arriving at the Ukrainian International Army and signing the contract, I gathered foreign personnel from the United States and the United Kingdom who have experience in combat to form a special operations team. Then the team I set up undertook a variety of confidential missions, but I hope they refrain from speculating on specific mission times and locations. Our team moved to another area yesterday and directly. Participating in a typical offensive operation. ”
