Ukrainian military forces are producing leaflets and videos to encourage North Korean soldiers to desert. This initiative aims to exploit discontent among troops stationed near the front lines.
The 'I want to live' project, initially targeting Russian soldiers, has seen success with 350 surrenders. The focus now extends to North Koreans, highlighting differing motivations.
Vitalyiy Matvienko emphasized that not all North Korean soldiers are willing to fight. Given their harsh living conditions back home, many may perceive deserting as an opportunity for freedom.
The strategic importance of targeting North Korean troops stems from their involvement in combat roles against Ukrainian forces, with around 10,000 believed to be in proximity to Ukraine.
