Oct 28, 2024, 10:14 AM

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, according to the South China Morning Post. These defectors, with 7 to 10 years of military experience, aim to demoralize Pyongyang's troops who are reportedly assembling in Russia to support Russian forces. The group believes their insider knowledge and military background can effectively counter North Korea's mercenary policies and rescue soldiers.
