Nearly 200 former North Korean soldiers who defected to South Korea are seeking relocation to Ukraine to launch a psychological warfare campaign against their former comrades, who are reportedly assembling in Russia, according to the South China Morning Post. These ex-soldiers, with 7 to 10 years of military experience, aim to use their insider knowledge to influence North Korean troops. Ukraine is also trying to entice North Korean soldiers to defect by promising better living conditions in POW camps, including their own beds and regular meals.
