Mr. Kim (56), a Korean volunteer soldier who participated in the Ukraine War, has died in combat. Mr. Kim, belonging to the International Legion, died in May 2025 during an engagement with Russian forces in Nova Poltavka, Donetsk Oblast.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs received notification of death from the Ukrainian side and is providing consular assistance to the bereaved family. The body will be repatriated to Korea. It is estimated that 7 Koreans have died in Ukraine to date.
The Korean government stipulates that participating in the war without prior permission constitutes a violation of the Passport Act and is subject to punishment.
Apparently, this person was married to a Ukrainian woman and ran a Korean restaurant there. After the war broke out, he sent his family to safety and then joined the war effort for his family. May he rest in peace.
"Commenters pay their respects, acknowledging the volunteer's commitment to Ukraine as his second motherland and recognizing his sacrifice to protect his family and home."
