North Korea believes that the south was stolen by Western/US imperialism, and that it is Western influence that keeps it separate from unification under the Kim family. A whole "We're not the separatists. They are." kind of deal.

With the West currently being on the side of Ukraine's independence, the North Korean troops are probably being told that this is a fight against that imperialism, especially with Russia being former and now current enemy of the West.

One side-effect of Trump's pending plan to end that war will undoubtedly be sending some disillusioned, surviving Koreans back home, waiting any day for the reunification with their southern brothers.

I mean, there is an element of truth to all this. If we take our eye off that particular ball, so to speak, South Korea ends up reunifying with the North in a way they very much won't like.
