It is noted that the propaganda leaflets were handed over to the Ukrainian Embassy in Seoul by the "Refugee Propaganda Corps", which includes former North Korean soldiers who defected to South Korea and those whose sons served in the DPRK army .

These leaflets are intended to be distributed to North Korean soldiers in Russia. They contain messages encouraging them to defect, as well as instructions on how to do so. Civil society activists have also passed on audio files with messages of the same content.

The North Korean defectors plan to hand over the same propaganda materials to the Ukrainian military in Brussels, along with a letter calling for the use of psychological warfare against DPRK soldiers.

The letter emphasizes that the Ukrainian military can ensure mass surrender and desertion of North Korean soldiers if they manage to launch a proactive psychological warfare.

Russian forces allegedly killed two captured Ukrainian servicemen in Russia's embattled Kursk Oblast, the Prosecutor General's Office reported on Nov. 11.

Reports of murders, torture, and ill-treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war are received regularly by Ukrainian authorities and have spiked in recent months. Most cases were recorded in embattled Donetsk Oblast.

A footage purporting to show Russian soldiers shooting two unarmed Ukrainian servicemen in Kursk Oblast was spotted on social media earlier in the day, the prosecutors said. It is unknown when the video was filmed.

The Prosecutor General's Office has opened a pre-trial investigation into the incident.

Videos and photos have documented potential war crimes, including drone footage showing the shooting of the prisoners of war (POWs) as they surrendered to Russian troops.

Other videos and photos point to torture and violent death in Russian captivity.

Russian forces have executed at least 124 Ukrainian prisoners of war since 2022 as of Nov. 6, the Prosecutor General's Office said.

Former Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin called the killing of Ukrainian servicemen in captivity a "deliberate policy" of Russia.

Some 80% of the cases of executions of Ukrainian POWs were recorded in 2024, but the trend began to appear in November 2023, when "there were changes in the attitude of Russian military personnel towards our prisoners of war for the worse," said Yurii Belousov, a senior representative of the Prosecutor General's Office.

In the TOT of Kherson region, the Russians plan to take away the entire harvest of grain and vegetables from farmers through a “state procurement operator”. The farmers will be forced to sell their products at reduced prices and will become dependent on subsidies.

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region, Russians plan to take away not only grain but also vegetables from farmers. This was reported by the Center of National Resistance, UNN reports.

The Russians are creating another "state procurement operator" to take away vegetables from farmers. As with grain, starting next year, farmers will have to sell their entire harvest to the state at a fixed price below the market price. Only then, through structures tangentially related to the grafters, the vegetables will be sold at the market price, and the difference will end up in the pockets of the collaborators,

– the statement said.

At the same time, farmers will receive subsidies, which are a method of state control, because in fact, Russians deprive farmers of profit and make them dependent on compensation instead.

Russian assaults in Zaporizhzhia Oblast could begin "any day," Vladyslav Voloshyn, Ukrainian military's Southern Command spokesperson, told Reuters on Nov. 11.

In early October, Russian troops have reportedly renewed their attack in the Zaporizhzhia sector. Kyiv warned of a potential Russian push in the southern region, just as Moscow's troops continue advancing in Ukraine's east.

According to Voloshyn, Russia is also deploying trained assault groups to advance in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. They are preparing to attack, he added.

"(The assaults) could begin in the near future, we're not even talking about weeks, we're expecting it to happen any day," the spokesperson said.

Ukraine's military intelligence said that Russia was planning to use armored vehicles and a significant number of drones, Voloshyn said, although it is not yet clear whether this will be a single offensive push or separate attacks.

"They are preparing both armored groups and light vehicles — buggies, motorcycles — to conduct these assault operations," he added.

Voloshyn said in October that Russian forces were massing for a breakthrough in the direction of Orikhiv and Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The area was the main axis of Ukraine's southern counteroffensive in 2023, which led to the liberation of the settlement of Robotyne but achieved no major results.

Russian troops have intensified attacks against Zaporizhzhia, targeting its civilian infrastructure with guided aerial bombs.
