    I’m actually incredibly surprised Ukraine hasn’t already. Russia has been using mercenaries the entire war, the involvement of north Korea is just a huge escalation.

    I feel like it’d beat conscripting prisoners.

      They do have multi-national volunteers fighting right from the beginning. Enough to form a few brigades with them. The difficulty with them is the language barrier. Hard to lay out a battle plan and give orders if you need multiple translators to do it.
