Ukraine is ready to hand over North Korean soldiers captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the fighting to DPRK leader Kim Jong Un. However, there is one condition for the return of the military. This was announced by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Ukraine is ready to hand over his people to Kim Jong Un if he can organize their exchange for our soldiers who are held captive in Russia," the President said.
Zelenskyy noted that in addition to the first captured soldiers from North Korea, there will be others. And it is only a matter of time.
In turn, for those North Korean soldiers who do not want to return, there may be some other ways.
“In particular, those Koreans who wish to bring peace closer by spreading the truth in the Korean language about this war will have this opportunity,” the president said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that no one in the world should doubt that the Russian army depends on military assistance from the DPRK.
“Putin started three years ago with NATO ultimatums and attempts to rewrite history, and now he cannot do it without such military assistance from Pyongyang,” the head of the Ukrainian state summarized.
Yesterday Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had captured two North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. They were wounded but survived. They were then brought to Kyiv and talked to the SSU.
Today, South Korea's intelligence agency also confirmed that the Ukrainian military had captured two DPRK soldiers. It also quoted one of them as saying that there were “significant” losses among North Korean soldiers in Russia.
