Ukraine has released appeals to North Korean soldiers to surrender as prisoners of war, following reports that thousands of DPRK troops have been deployed to Russia to aid Moscow’s invasion. 

The “I Want To Live” project posted the Korean-language messages on social media on Wednesday, warning DPRK troops that hundreds of thousands of Russians have already died and that “there is no need for you to follow that path!”

“Surrender! Ukraine will protect you and provide you with food and warmth. Thousands of Russian soldiers have already made the right choice and are now waiting for the war to end
