Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Saturday that his forces had captured two North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Moscow’s forces in Russia’s Kursk region, and that they were being taken to Kiev where they were “of communication with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)”.
“It was not an easy task: Russian and other North Korean military forces usually execute their wounded to remove any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine,” he wrote the Ukrainian leader in his Telegram and X accounts.
Zelensky thanked for the successful capture of Ukrainian special operations forces and paratroopers. We remember that at the end of last year, Zelensky announced that his forces had captured North Korean soldiers before, but they died of their wounds.
“Like all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers receive the necessary medical care. We have ordered the Security Service of Ukraine to allow journalists access to these prisoners. The world must know the truth about what is happening,” the Ukrainian president wrote, posting even more images of the two.
