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.
