In this video, we analyze the claims of a North Korean deserter that all North Korean battalions will defect when they attack Ukraine.
How might ATACMS and Storm Shadow missile attacks on enemy units in Kursk, Ukraine, have affected North Korean soldiers psychologically?
Ukraine's ground and air operations have shaken the loyalty of Kim Jong's soldiers.
With the lifting of restrictions on the use of Western missiles on Russian territory, panic mode opened among North Korean soldiers.
Witnessing the power of ATACMS and Storm Shadow, North Korean soldiers are falling captive to the kingdom of fear.
But are these missiles as effective as the North Koreans fear?
Considering the range of the missiles, it is quite normal for North Korean soldiers to panic.
And we know that these missiles have hit the headquarters of senior North Korean commanders and soldiers.
This attack has made the North Koreans face a harsh reality.
It is now known that soldiers will go to any lengths to save their lives.
They may rebel, desert or surrender to Ukraine.
Ukrainian intelligence has integrated the North Korean language into the I Want to Live project and developed special propaganda for them.
In addition, North Korean deserter ex-soldiers living in South Korea volunteered to convince their North Korean comrades to surrender or defect.
It is claimed that North Korean soldiers must surrender or escape, otherwise they will all perish, whether 10,000 or hundreds of thousands of them.
The most remarkable claim came from a North Korean defector.
The North Korean deserter said that all North Korean battalions will leave the front line when they attack Ukraine.
So what is the likelihood of these possibilities coming true?
Can Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong prevent this from happening?
Could Western missiles make such a difference to the Kursk operation?
To find the answers to these questions, we will travel to the hottest spots of Kursk.

- strict ideological pressure North Korean
- children consider it a great honor to
- fight and die for their leader these
- children grow up to become soldiers
- loyal to the Army and Kim Jong but this
- momentum was broken by the war in
- Ukraine 10,000 North Korean soldiers
- were deployed as Canon fodder for
- Vladimir Putin in fact Western and South
- Korean intelligence emphasizes that
- Putin and Kim Jong will gradually
- increase the number of North Korean
- soldiers in the Russian army to 100,000
- by
- 2025 considering that North Korea has
- more than 1 million soldiers it is very
- 1:00
- likely that Kim Jong will make such a
- move against the Technologies he
- receives from Russia but there are many
- complications between North Korean and
- Russian troops and the battlefield in
- Ukraine is even more difficult to live
- in than in North Korea initially it was
- thought that these soldiers would fight
- for Russia without objection the culture
- in which they were brought up was the
- most important factor supporting this
- idea but the harsh realities of the
- front line have hit the North Koreans
- like a heavy slap in the face Ukraine's
- ground and air operations have shaken
- the Loyalty of Kim jong's solders with
- the lifting of restrictions on the use
- of Western missiles on Russian territory

- the most remarkable claim came from a
- North Korean Defector the North Korean
- 3:01
- deserter said that all North Korean
- battalions will leave the front line
- when they attack Ukraine so what is the
- likelihood of these possibilities coming
- true can Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong
- prevent this from happening could
- Western missiles make such a difference
- to the ksk operation to find the answers
- to these questions we will travel to the
- hottest spots of ksk first we will
- briefly examine the North Korean
- soldiers desertion cases and then then
- we will look at the pressure that the
- Ukrainian attacks on the North Koreans
- put on the North Korean troops in mid
- October North Koreans deserted from
- Russian war camps without ever being in
- combat in the case of October 15th 18
- North Korean soldiers deserted and were
- captured by Russian FSB Forces 2 days
- later later when Ukraine targeted groups
- of North Korean soldiers for the first
- time a group of 40 North Koreans was
- destroyed by a kar's strike only one
- 4:02
- North Korean Soldier survived and
- surrendered to the Ukrainian Army the
- subsequent attacks on ksk with aak AMS
- and Storm Shadow missiles shook the
- faith of the North Korean soldiers this
- was the flare that unleashed the panic
- mode of the North Korean troops the
- attacks on an underground main command
- center in ksk which eliminated several
- North Korean officers and 500 soldiers
- at once was the breaking point
- in its latest attack Ukraine illuminated
- The Kino Airbase in ksk it is known that
- Sue 25 fighter jets were previously
- based at this Air Base however it is
- assumed that with Biden's permission the
- Russians moved these planes to another
- region nevertheless the Strategic
- importance of the Airfield has not been
- lost this Airfield was the closest to
- the front line in ksk oblast it was a
- high priority asset for President Putin
- 5:01
- as he sought to drive Ukrainian forces
- out of Russian territory and gain a
- stronger position at the negotiating
- table Kino Airbase was home to
- helicopters fighter jets and extensive
- air defense assets this made it a
- critical military hub for Russian
- operations in the ksk region Ukraine
- launched 12
- atacms long range ground launched
- missiles supplied by the United States
- Target in the base although the Russians
- moved their fighter jets elsewhere they
- chose to leave the S400 air defense
- systems and raidar at the airbase it was
- a costly mistake Ukraine successfully
- destroyed these critical systems
- significantly weakening Russia's defense
- capabilities in the ksk oblast the
- Russians kept quiet but evidence
- suggests that the famous S400 air
- defense systems successfully prevented
- at least some
- 6:00
- aicm from burning the place the
- placement of the S400 system and its
- Radars at the airbase had a strategic
- reason the Russians rely on their
- fighter jets to conduct daily sorties
- over the front line in ksk maintaining
- some air
- superiority however the destruction of
- these Radars and air defense Assets Now
- leaves a gap in their coverage it allows
- Ukrainian fighter jets to Target Russian
- positions in ksk more effectively and
- drones to penetrate deeper into Russian
- airspace so the purpose of the attack on
- the Airfield was to neutralize it this
- is disastrous for Putin and Kim's 50,000
- strong Army but very good news for the
- 20,000 Ukrainian fighters in the ksk
- region as you can see the aacms missiles
- have dealt serious blows to the Russians
- but atacas are not Russia's only problem
- following the US the UK and France have
- 7:02
- also changed their policy towards the
- use of the missiles thus Ukraine started
- using Storm Shadow missiles against
- military Targets in Russia For the First
- Time The Storm Shadow attack targeted a
- North Korean General while a place
- believed to be the residence of Russian
- leader Vladimir Putin was also affected
- an underground Command Center was
- allegedly located on this property store
- storm Shadows reportedly destroyed this
- Command Center it was reported that the
- North Korean General who was targeted
- for the first time was in this Command
- Center that was destroyed because it was
- known that the command center was used
- by Russian and North Korean commanders
- serving in the region in other words
- Kiev managed to hit both Russia and
- North Korea right in the heart with this
- incredible pinpoint attack on ksk
- Western officials have not revealed how
- 8:00
- the senior North Korean officer was
- wounded or identified pongyang had sent
- a senior Officer Colonel General Kim y
- Bach to Russia to oversee North Korea's
- coordination efforts with Russia it may
- have been General Kim Yang Buck who was
- wounded the targeting of a North Korean
- General is not the only thing pongyang
- should be concerned about in the Storm
- Shadow missile attack in ksk there were
- also reports that several North Korean
- soldiers were killed in Ukrainian Storm
- Shadow strikes on the Marino military
- command center in ksk Ukrainian media
- reported that nearly 500 North Korean
- soldiers were killed in kiev's missile
- strike on the ksk region in Western
- Russia this is the highest number of
- North Korean casualties in a single
- attack so far it seems that the ksk
- region is no longer safe for the North
- Koreans the psychology of ordinary North
- 9:00
- Korean soldiers is also undermined by
- the fact that even senior commanders
- have been harmed in the attacks we
- already know that North Korean soldiers
- do not want to participate in this war
- and are deserting the recent Storm
- Shadow attack could lead to more
- desertions a soldier who defected from
- North Korea also says that desertions
- will happen hung Lee who served as a
- soldier in the Kim Army in the early
- 2000s says that soldiers in Russia will
- try to flee the war in Ukraine from the
- very beginning Lee believes that the
- soldiers are not ready for the front
- line and will be used as human Shields
- by Russian soldiers if you look at the
- photos and videos of North Korean
- soldiers in Russia they don't look like
- the best trained Special Forces soldiers
- they just look like soldiers coming out
- during training they didn't look very
- fit and they looked like ordinary
- soldiers who had just recruited during
- 10:00
- training one of the reasons for the
- desertions is the behavior of the
- Russian soldiers towards the North
- Koreans because Russian soldiers do not
- respect them as fellow combatants so
- North Korean soldiers in Russia will
- feel uneasy when faced with extreme pain
- and fear of death therefore we predict
- that they are very likely to surrender
- during the conflict try to escape and
- even seek Asylum so where can defecting
- North Korean soldiers go
- of course like Russian defectors North
- Korean soldiers can reach Ukraine
- Ukraine's I want to live project
- welcomes North Koreans as well the I
- want to live hotline was quick to launch
- a social media appeal in Korean more
- than a month ago those who surrender to
- Ukrainian forces are promised shelter
- hot meals and medical care for those in
- need it doesn't matter how many troops
- Pyongyang sends to help Russia it
- doesn't matter in which direction
- Ukrainian prisoner of war camps are
- 11:01
- ready to receive soldiers of all
- nationalities religions and ideological
- views the project spokesperson said that
- every fighter who reaches the hotline
- remains in constant contact a special
- evacuation plan is designed taking into
- account weather conditions terrain and
- where the soldier is deployed along the
- hundreds of miles of Front Line the
- spokesman added but can Kim Jong and
- Vladimir Putin prevent desertions in
- total more than 18,000 soldiers in
- moscow's Army have left the service
- without authorization the Russian leader
- has not even been able to prevent the
- desertion of his own soldiers in North
- Korea it is impossible to imagine how
- tightly controlled Society is deploying
- large numbers of troops abroad is risky
- for Kim Jong-un who oversees a
- totalitarian state that rarely lets
- people out but the rewards for
- 12:00
- cooperating with Russia are great North
- Korea operates a complex social
- hierarchy in which citizens are
- monitored and classified according to
- perceived loyalty it is often inherited
- from the actions of parents and even
- grandparents and is effectively
- described as a form of cast system those
- classified as the most loyal in North
- Korea may be army officers we speculate
- that those sent to help Russia were
- probably accompanied by officials from
- the ruling Korean Workers Party so this
- suggests that the soldiers are under
- constant surveillance every detail is
- under surveillance from their alcohol
- consumption to whether they send things
- to their families that they can't find
- in North Korea this minimizes the
- possibility of North Korean soldiers
- deserting moreover North Korea believes
- in generational punishment this means
- that if a soldier deserts not only the
- 13:00
- soldier himself but also his entire
- family is subject to severe penal
- sanctions for life it is also known that
- soldiers will be sent to a reindo camp
- upon their return to North Korea to
- reaffirm their loyalty there are two
- options for North Korean soldiers under
- these
- circumstances either die a painless
- death on the front lines in Ukraine or
- face harsh punitive sanctions in North
- Korea imposed by their leader ERS we see
- that the options are a shirt of fire
- moreover this situation affects not only
- the soldiers but also their families
- North Korean defectors say that
- Pyongyang is likely keeping the
- deployment of its troops to fight in
- Russia's war against Ukraine secret from
- its own people including their families
- deserters say the news will undoubtedly
- leak out causing anxiety and pain we
- know that the birth rate in North Korea
- is very low with families having only
- 14:01
- one or two children so it is not hard to
- imagine that parents would not accept
- that their children would die defending
- Russia not their own country the ksk
- operation has left a deep mark on the
- lives of ordinary Russians as well as
- North Koreans the Russian Institute for
- the study and Analysis of conflict has
- published a comprehensive media analysis
- of Russian social media during the early
- stages of Ukraine's attack on ksk and
- the results are striking the research
- used keywords and phrases related to the
- events in ksk posts from local
- communities and posts by individual
- Russian army soldiers whose data was
- verified using osen tools Russian
- reactions to the events in ksk peaked on
- August 8th with more than 600,000
- mentions dropping to about 880,000 on
- August 14th and 18,000 on August
- 15:02
- 24th this is an artificial decrease
- because it is unlikely that CSK citizens
- lost interest in the events after only a
- few days all comments and the ability to
- upload news were closed on local
- channels which led to a significant drop
- in
- reactions users believe that the images
- and messages of Ukrainian troops
- advancing rapidly combined with the
- Silence of the Russian authorities have
- caused Great discontent among the
- population the reaction of Russian
- propaganda reminded me of what happened
- during the progan uprising absolute
- Panic they didn't know what to say while
- the lack of information was covered up
- by military bloggers and ordinary
- Russians so for once the truth came out
- and we saw how a few thousand Ukrainian
- soldiers occupied a territory equivalent
- to the territory that Russia had seized
- with tens of thousands thousands of men
- 16:00
- enormous amounts of artillery ammunition
- and resources to quell discontent Russia
- trivialized the operation and resorted
- to censorship they openly threatened
- their own citizens and loyal military
- bloggers those who volunteered to join
- the Army and raise money for the war
- with humiliating criminal cases if they
- continued to publish news about the
- Ukrainian Advance on ksk censorship and
- propaganda changed the tone and volume
- of the news replacing panic and
- criticism of the authorities with
- support for the Russian military and
- incitement to International hostility we
- believe that ksk has shown above all
- that Russia does not know how to manage
- crisis and has no capacity to react when
- something unexpected critical or
- fast-moving
- happens Putin has once again
- demonstrated his inability to manage a
- crisis and this extends to all levels
- everyone was waiting for his reaction or
- 17:01
- approval and for several days nothing
- happened Russian propaganda came to a
- complete standstill waiting for messages
- from the leader and all we saw were
- Panic messages and contradictions
- between the statements of the defense
- Ministry and Military bloggers in
- addition to this lack of reaction there
- was a complete lack of initiative on the
- part of the authorities as in the progan
- Rebellion which opened the door to
- Future operation
- after announcing the failure of the raid
- the Russian authorities in propaganda
- now talk about it as if it were a normal
- situation as if it were nothing more
- than an operation in a war in which they
- announced daily the destruction of
- dozens of vehicles and the deaths of
- hundreds of
- ukrainians another approach has been to
- portray the attack as terrorism and the
- Russian response as an anti-terrorist
- operation as they did in chetna but the
- bitter truth is that the ksksk operation
- 18:01
- is proof of their weakness in defending
- their own
- territory another proof of the kremlin's
- incompetence was the lack of organized
- evacuation efforts for the more than
- 200,000 Russian civilians displaced from
- the region comments on social media
- about the organization of the evacuation
- and the role of the authorities were 20%
- negative compared to less than 3%
- positive comments according to icar's AI
- based analysis of the nearly 4,000
- sources providing information about the
- evacuation more than 600 were
- compromised communication channels
- involving more than 800 Bots
- systematically spreading propaganda and
- fake news the ksk operation accelerated
- the regime's internal problems Russians
- are wondering whether their leader can
- lead them to Victory and whether he can
- be replaced and before the end of this
- year we will see the answers to these
- 19:00
- questions become clear to the public in
- Russia there is no ideology no
- institutions no checks and balances the
- only Universal means of measuring who
- you are is Putin he has demonstrated
- this very clearly there is no second or
- third leader in the country there is
- only Putin therefore the more the sacred
- nature of the leader's power
- deteriorates the sooner the beginning of
- his end will come because all the
- discontent in Russian Society is focused
- on him we will see this increase in the
- coming months and this will be a very
- important indicator of the stability of
- the system the ksk operation accelerated
- this process and provided an opportunity
- for all these changes to crystallize so
- how did the ksk operation and the
- introduction of the North Koreans into
- the equation affect the geopolitical
- arena Ukraine has issued a Stern warning
- 20:01
- in light of North Korea's growing
- military cooperation with Russia the
- deepening alliance between the two
- countries is very serious for the Indo
- Pacific and if left unchecked could
- threaten to destabilize not only the
- Korean Peninsula but also the wider
- region the Ukrainian foreign Ministry
- said so the entry of North Korean troops
- into the Ukrainian theater dramatically
- changes the geopolitical landscape it
- highlights the complexity of modern
- warfare where Global alliances and
- hostilities are intertwined on the
- battlefield it challenges the
- long-standing efforts of the
- International Community to contain Rogue
- States through sanctions and diplomatic
- isolation for NATO and the European
- Union this development tests their
- strategic coherence and response
- mechanisms in an increasingly complex
- and unpredictable security
- environment the deployment also has
- 21:01
- profound implications for regional
- security Dynamics in East Asia South
- Korea and Japan both important us allies
- and directly affected by North Korea's
- militarization May perceive this move as
- a direct threat this could make them
- reassess their own security posture and
- push for a stronger military presence in
- the region potentially escalating
- military tensions in an already stable
- area the involvement of North Korean
- troops in Ukraine is more than a
- military challenge it is a major
- diplomatic dilemma it poses a direct
- challenge to the effectiveness of
- international sanctions and highlights
- the limitations of global governance
- structures such as the United Nations in
- managing State Behavior the global
- Community must now deal with a conflict
- that not only threatens Ukraine's
- sovereignty but also tests the
- fundamental principles of international
- 22:01
- law and order as this new threat emerges
- its broader implications for
- International Security and the
- rules-based global order are becoming
- increasingly clear the incursion of
- North Korean troops into Ukraine is not
- just a Russian military buildup it risks
- a major geopolitical escalation that
- could reshape not only Regional but also
- Global power dynamics addressing
- fundamental shifts in global strategic
- relations with nuclear capable but
- non-combatant States requires a nuanced
- International response that goes beyond
- immediate military concerns the
- situation requires not only Resolute
- support for Ukraine and threatened
- civilians but also A Renewed commitment
- to respecting International norms and
- preventing the erosion of Global Peace
- and security so what do you think about
