Ukrainian authorities have created a video aimed at North Korean soldiers deployed in Russia, urging them to surrender.

On Wednesday, the Ukrainian media outlet IYIUPost reported that the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry (HUR) issued a statement directed at North Korean troops via a surrender hotline called I Want to Live, which is currently operating against Russian forces.

The HUR stated, “We appeal to the North Korean soldiers dispatched to support the Putin regime: do not die meaningless deaths in a foreign land.”

They added, “Do not repeat the fate of the hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers who have been unable to return home. Surrender, and Ukraine will provide you with shelter, food, and warmth.”

The HUR noted that thousands of Russian soldiers who have surrendered made the right choice and are now waiting for peace in a comfortable environment, enjoying three warm meals a day and access to medical services.

The hotline, operated via Telegram, features a 1-minute and 14-second video showcasing living conditions in a shelter, meal preparations, and more.

The video illustrates the lifestyle that North Korean soldiers could enjoy if they chose to surrender, emphasizing provisions for food, clothing, and shelter.

A voiceover in the video states, “Prisoners are housed in large, warm, and bright rooms with separate sleeping areas. They receive three meals a day, including meat, fresh vegetables, and bread.”

Meanwhile, Russia and North Korea continue to deny claims regarding the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia.

However, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was the first to acknowledge the deployment. John Kirby, the White House National Security Council Coordinator, confirmed during a briefing, “We are reporting that North Korea moved at least 3,000 troops to eastern Russia in early to mid-October.”

According to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, as of Wednesday, North Korea has sent approximately 3,000 troops to Russia, with the total deployment expected to reach 10,000 by December.
