I saw another post about these same guys and this ID was posted with it. Altho i cant find that post this is a screenshot of the ID. Russia includes plenty of asia and shares a border with Korea so Eastern Russians who look korean or asian in general isnt all that surprising if thats what this is. Which unless this ID is fake it appears they are Russian.
Edit to add context from a comrade on matrix that speaks russian on the ID they translated it and had some thoughts on its validity:
This is a military ID. It was issued in "Tuva region", which is also listed as the person's place of birth. Their nationality isn't listed. Their level of education is secondary technical school, which they completed in 2017. The rest is too blurry to read properly.
Also, I'm not even sure if this is a valid ID. It has no photo, no nationality, no issue date, and no "personal code" which is an identification number for the person this ID was issued to.

All just a ruse for what is actually happening beneath it all...
I've been asking some of my comrades that speak Korean what they make of it, but no responses so far. At this point, my response is based if true, and fake if false.
I also saw the fake Tuvan passports. Pretty conflicted.
edit: They said it's kinda hard to say. The last translation seems a bit off, like the person is overstating that he wants to stay in Ukraine, but it's still overall unverified that they are actually DPRK soldiers.
There's 90000 Korean minority in Russia and some of them do serve in military.
Idk they dont look fake to me. That document looks old. The ink from the pen is kinda faded and the pages have age showing on them too. It doesnt look like some newly created document. Which a forgery would be new.
I don't know nearly enough about this case to state or imply a conclusion about DPRK soldiers in Ukraine.
I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it's not difficult to make a document look old.
I edited my comment with more info from someone who speaks russian and had some input if your interested
