UKRAINE IS ADAPTING AN OLD TACTIC TO COUNTER A NEW ENEMY…USING PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE IN AN EFFORT TO GET NORTH KOREAN TROOPS FIGHTING FOR THE RUSSIANS TO SURRENDER. 

THROUGH IT’S “I WANT TO LIVE” PROJECT, UKRAINIAN FORCES ARE PRODUCING LEAFLETS AND VIDEOS TO PUSH PYONGYANG’S TROOPS TO SURRENDER.

UKRAINIAN INTELLIGENCE LAUNCHED THE PROJECT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR. MUCH OF THE WORK INCLUDES DROPPING FLYERS ON THE BATTLEFIELD… ENCOURAGING RUSSIAN FORCES TO GIVE UP THE FIGHT.

KYIV CLAIMS 350 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS SURRENDERED AS PART OF THE EFFORT.

NOW, THERE ARE NEW LEAFLETS WRITTEN IN KOREAN BEING DROPPED ON THE BATTLEFIELDS. THEY INSTRUCT KIM JONG UN’S FORCES HOW TO SURRENDER BY LYING FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND, HOLDING UP A WHITE SHEET OR LEAFLET, AND OF COURSE, DROPPING THEIR WEAPONS.

UKRAINIAN INTELLIGENCE SAYS THEY’RE OPTIMISTIC NORTH KOREANS MAY SEE IT AS A CHANCE TO ESCAPE KIM JONG UN’S REGIME AND LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.

UKRAINE IS ALSO PRODUCING VIDEOS AS PART OF THE CAMPAIGN. IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SURRENDER, THE NORTH KOREANS ARE BEING OFFERED ESSENTIALLY THREE HOTS AND A COT–OR THREE WARM MEALS A DAY AND A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP–OH, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT LIVE IN NORTH KOREA ANYMORE. 

AS MANY AS 12-THOUSAND NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS WERE DEPLOYED TO THE KURSK REGION AS PART OF MOSCOW’S EFFORT TO RETAKE THE TERRITORY FROM UKRAINE.

IN EXCHANGE, THE U-S SAYS RUSSIA IS SENDING FIGHTER JETS TO NORTH KOREA,
