It seems that NIS agents will not go directly to dangerous places on the battlefield and wander around, but if the Ukrainian military captures you, they will try to obtain various information from other places and interrogate you and ask you if you are willing to defect.
Personally, I think the reason for doing so is that it can be used domestically politically, as in the case of Lee Woong-pyeong and Shin Joong-cheol, former North Korean military officers who voluntarily defected, and it feels like they are trying to deal a fatal blow to Kim Jong-un.
According to Japanese media, the person in charge of following and leading now is Kim Young-bok, commander of the 11th Corps.
I heard that they are sending the Storm Corps because they have the best mental armament, but I think only after seeing it in person on the battlefield will this be confirmed.
The West has already acknowledged the deployment of troops, but North Korea and Russia have only indirectly acknowledged it.
Because North Korea has not officially declared that it will send troops.
As the article states, it is said that it is difficult to deal with the various statuses as a party to the war on the battlefield. In other words, since they are treated as mercenaries, it seems that there is no reason to respond rather than a prisoner exchange or something else.
The Russian military may not care much about whether the North Korean army is captured or killed.
However, all North Korean soldiers have families in their home country, and if many defect, their families may end up living in a living hell. This is not the concept of an ordinary North Korean defector.
First, a delegation to NATO will discuss and brief in Brussels this week, and the foreign and defense ministers of the ROK and the U.S. will meet in Washington.
