Leaflets are being distributed along the front lines instructing North Korean troops on how to surrender.

Summary

Ukraine is using psychological warfare to target North Korean troops fighting for Russia, urging them to surrender through the “I Want to Live” campaign.

This initiative, which previously encouraged Russian soldiers to defect, now includes Korean-language leaflets and videos instructing North Korean troops on how to safely surrender.

Up to 12,000 North Korean soldiers have reportedly been deployed to Russia’s Kursk region, with some killed in the conflict.

In return for their support, Russia is supplying fighter jets to North Korea, heightening geopolitical tensions.

    Not enough attention is being paid by world leaders that North Korean troops are fighting on European soil.

      The reaction over that is heavily tempered by the fact that the North Koreans are staying inside Russia. If they were in Ukraine I’m pretty sure the reaction would be much different.

      From what I’ve heard, “fighting” is a very generous description of what they’re capable of.
