Nearly 200 North Korean defectors who fled to South Korea at one point reportedly expressed their desire to go to Ukraine to fight for the kyiv regime.
According to the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post, they consider their main objective to be waging psychological warfare against former compatriots who are supposedly fighting on the side of Russia.
According to the publication, this detachment is made up of former North Korean soldiers with between seven and ten years of military experience. It is alleged that they are eager to use their knowledge to demoralize their former colleagues.
“We are willing to go wherever necessary to work as agents of psychological warfare: through loudspeakers, distributing leaflets and even as translators.” — said one of the deserters, An Chan Il, 69, in an interview with the publication.
Another activist – Lee Min Bok — published an open letter to the Ukrainian Embassy in Seoul, in which he addressed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky asking him to allow him to help “save North Korean soldiers.”
Previously EADaily reported that the Ukrainian military command warned military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located in the Kursk region about the imminent participation of North Korean soldiers in hostilities.
