The capture of two North Korean soldiers on the battlefield has given Ukraine valuable insights into the role of Asian troops in the conflict.
The two soldiers were taken prisoner in Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive last summer.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters that officials plan to question the captured soldiers to “uncover the truth.”
The prisoners of war have been transferred to a hospital in Kyiv for medical treatment, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed, praising his troops for their efforts.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also claimed that Russian and North Korean soldiers have been ordered to execute wounded North Korean troops on the battlefield to erase any evidence of Kim Jong Un’s military involvement.
