◇Anchor> If you look at the video, the soldiers' faces look very young. How old are you estimated to be?

◆Kim Dae-young> You can probably see it in your early 20s or early 30s. In the case of liver troops, it seems that they have selected excellent personnel in combat and physical strength. However, some analysts say that it is a little dwarfed by the size of our military's special forces.

◇ Anchor> You look younger than I thought. Eighteen people have deserted. And there are reports that they were captured by Russian troops after deserting. If we think of these soldiers as us, they are from the MZ generation, but they are not controlled by the military authorities, can we see them like this?

◆Kim Dae-young> Of course, that's the biggest problem for the Russian military. There seems to be a lot of situations where food and important supplies are not delivered to the front. From the perspective of combat soldiers, they can fight if they eat well, but because these things are not delivered well, it seems that there are a series of situations in which they desert.
