韩国京畿道为了回应朝鲜此前通过气球散发宣传材料的行为,禁止了向朝鲜发射气球,并部署了大量人员以执行这一禁令。这一举动凸显了韩国政府对朝鲜可能采取的报复行动的担忧。 朝鲜最初以散发垃圾作为回应,但后来升级为散发反韩传单,这标志着朝韩之间的冲突进一步升级。这些传单主要针对韩国领导人,并利用韩国社会敏感话题进行攻击,其目的是为了报复,而非煽动统一运动。 朝鲜正在加强边境沿海地区的围栏和防御工事,以防止人员叛逃,同时也在利用疫情为由进一步加强了沿海地区的围栏,限制了朝鲜人民进入海滩的权利。 此外,韩国还存在秘密电视台,通过非主流频率向朝鲜播放针对性内容,包括关于脱北、韩国生活以及人权等主题。这些电视台的运作规模和专业性暗示可能存在政府参与,但韩国政府对此保持沉默。这些广播内容可能包括对现有韩国电视节目的重新包装,以及关于乌克兰战争和朝鲜参与的信息,甚至包含乌克兰政府的联系方式,可能意在鼓励朝鲜士兵叛逃。 边境地区的广播活动正在困扰当地居民,而缺乏朝鲜在乌克兰战争中参与的直接证据,也引发了人们的猜测。朝鲜士兵可能并未大规模参与战斗,而是被谨慎地部署,并与俄罗斯军队混编,或者与俄罗斯远东地区特定族裔的士兵混编,以保持行动的隐蔽性。俄罗斯社交媒体上关于朝鲜士兵的讨论可能受到审查或指令限制。朝鲜在联合国公开承认与俄罗斯的军事同盟关系,表明其在军事合作上的信心日益增强。
