In addition to the first captured soldiers from North Korea, there will undoubtedly be more. It’s only a matter of time before our troops manage to capture others. There should be no doubt left in the world that the Russian army is dependent on military assistance from North Korea.
Putin started three years ago with ultimatums to NATO and attempts to rewrite history, but now he cannot manage without military support from Pyongyang.
Ukraine is ready to hand over Kim Jong Un’s soldiers to him if he can organize their exchange for our warriors who are being held captive in Russia.
For those North Korean soldiers who do not wish to return, there may be other options available. In particular, those who express a desire to bring peace closer by spreading the truth about this war in Korean will be given that opportunity.

Communists always lie.
Same story as ruusian: we was on training, I didn’t shoot, I’m just a driver.
Liers.
Showing their faces to the world was a death sentence if they return home. Perhaps for their families too. But probably none except for top brass were meant to survive and return anyway.
They’re just like Russians, they know a lot more than they’re willing to say, but feigning ignorance and innocence might give them better treatment.
“You know where you are?”
“NOOO, but I would rather stay here than in North Korea!”
They may be withholding some truth, but there’s also a good chance they genuinely want freedom and may even be happy to help with the longer term project of liberating North Korea. Not the kind of “liberation” Russia favours, but actually helping them have real choices and a better quality of life on their own terms.
It is wild to think those are two of the luckiest North Koreans on the planet
The dude laying down knows he sentence his whole extended family to the gulag or the gallows
Putler sent Koreans into the Ukraine as a meat shield for his fascist empire. They have no chance against democracy and Western Weapons and Zelensky. Slava Ukraine 🌻
Could it be possible they have never even seen a real map of the world? I mean “where are you”, “Ukraine”. “Where is that?” “I have no idea” is a possibility. The amount of information in N Korea is limited. Russians have access to an actual education and can travel.

if they were to form a K-pop band right now, they´d be the best one from North Korea outside of Best Korea. Crazy opportunity!
I hope the one gets a chance to be with his family again. While we have all heard the stories of the NK regime. I hope both of them get a chance to live a full life free if dictatorship
Give them access to South Korean tv and let them see the difference.
Those unauthorized haircuts will get them an artillery enema should they return.

Is there any talk about NK troops infiltrating close to kyic yet? I know these 2 are in Ukraine but are there more found closer?
The regime in North Korea doesn’t want to bring back residents who have been abroad and seen the world outside of North Korea.
Because the residents who have been abroad can tell the truth to the residents of North Korea when they return home.
the guy laying in bed wants to stay in Ukraine wise choice buddy!
Poor bastards. Their lives mean nothing to that monster who owns them.
I’m interested to see what happens with these guys.
It would be awesome if they can have a life in a free country. Perhaps that will encourage NK desertions.
The training excuse wore thin a couple of years ago.
/u/libyanforma, can you explain what’s happening here?
Not to be that guy but I feel like the North Koreans aren’t replying honestly. “I thought it was training” makes no sense given NK soldiers are almost never sent abroad for training, certainly not to Europe. It feels like they’re saying what they feel is the right response.
NK soldiers are brainwashed of course. They probably see westerners (Ukrainians) as monsters as well as any South Koreans they meet. Anything that comes out of their mouth – I just assume they are thinking “what do they want to hear, and what makes me seem the most innocent”
It’s like catching a rare Pokémon.
im guessing the south Koreans sent translators to ukraine?
Sending them back now would be a death sentence. Either they’d be put back on the front line or executed as a deterrent to others who might surrender.
The guy with the family… if he admits publicly that he wants to stay in Ukraine he would jeopardize his family’s lives.
They’ve been living under a rock for so long they don’t even comprehend the concept of democracy or self determination or free will. “They will do as they’re told” is all they know.
These DPRK soldiers are likely not keen to return, or even be identified, since the Un family demand collective punishment for them having allowed themselves to be captured, i.e., their families are not safe.
First of all, this is (despite possible good intentions) against Geneva conventions (POW identity should not ever be revealed, due to risk to his own life and lifes of his relatives) – but I believe lawyers are ready to navigate this through the minefield (because reality & no war declaration from NK).
But mainly – what would you say in their situation – captured by enemy, in a medicaly critical condition? That is applicable to any POW interviews and videos. Any smart POW held by Russians would “want life in Russia and had no idea he would be fighting against his russian brothers”.
POW is fighting for his life with his brain. And you can see how his brain is working on 120% to figure out the perfectly balanced reply – as anyone would do in his position. He needs to be maximaly cooperative with his captors (no matter how humanly they treated him so far), while not betraying own side.
POW videos/interviews even if shot with good intension are propaganda by the principle (POW saying what he thinks his captors want to hear).
This is nothing against Ukraine or North Korea – this is how POW business simply works.
Why not pixel their faces?
