Ex-North Korean soldiers living in South Korea after defecting seek Ukraine deployment

A group of almost 200 ex-North Korean soldiers asked to be deployed in Ukraine to help demoralize and influence Pyongyang's troops joining the war on Russia's side, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Oct. 28.

Kyiv, Seoul, and the Western countries accused North Korea of sending thousands of troops to aid Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine.

According to Ukraine, Moscow is preparing to deploy 12,000 North Korean soldiers as a boost to its war effort. The first batch should reportedly be deployed in Kursk Oblast, a Russian border region partially held by Ukrainian forces.

In response to the reports, a group of North Korean defectors living in South Korea offered their experience with the North Korean military to help wage psychological warfare against Moscow's allies, the South China Morning Post writes.
