Zelensky ‘ready’ to hand North Korean POWs to Pyongyang • FRANCE 24 English

On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was prepared to hand over captured North Korean soldiers to Pyongyang in exchange for the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russia. Zelensky’s offer came just hours after South Korea’s national intelligence service confirmed Kiev’s announcement that two wounded North Korean soldiers had been captured by Ukrainian forces. Ludovic de Foucaud and Florent Marchais have the story.

  2. "One of them expressed that he wanted to stay in Ukraine". Very sad state of affairs. And at the same time our "dear" leaders here in Europe are using this war as an excuse to make everything worse due to the threat from Russia. Russia …. the nation that needs to use malnourished soldiers from North Korea.

  4. Kind of makes sense though why North Koreans would take the opportunity to practically learn modern warfare in the Russia/Ukraine War. NATO is doing the same and benefiting a lot. This war is an International Military Industrial Complex wet-dream. All clever militaries are invested and observing including Mercenaries

  6. This guy still infront of camera? No election so he is not even the president. How many years will he keep milking and asking others for money?

  10. You simply cannot believe Ukrainian military statements they shooot down all missiles and drones regularly inflict unbelievable losses. Yet 100,000 plus desertions not mentioned.

  12. Lets play find the Kremlin backed cyberwarefare from Russia. See if you can figure out which posts are Russian bots or paid trolls working out of St Petersburgs "Internet Research Agency"

  15. If the west had more PMs or Presidents like Zelensky. And Ukraine and Poland…. The West would SCARE the world…. And it's people wouldn't worry about ANYONE.

  16. Giving them to north Korea would be so fullish … why don't you offer those people to South Korea? It would strengthen our cooperation with true Korea and would give those poor some respite…

  17. I doubt if any captured NK prisoners will ever get back to NK, China and NK will not cooperate in this as it would make both of them look bad.

  20. Crazy how Russian bots now claim they're Russians from previously occupied territories from Asia..
    Yes, Russia is big and wants to get even bigger

  24. Zelensky gonna send them back to their dad’s Kim Jhon you gonna see them and be like you’ve brought disgrace in this on North Korea 😂

  31. Zelensky is forcing people to fight a war they don't wanna fight. These N Koreans are refugees. They will be harmed if they are returned to their homeland.

  33. Western warfare practices must adapt quickly, quickly, quickly.

    North Korean soldiers completely ignore their wounded and dead, they step over the wounded and dead and continue to perform their tasks.
    They know that wars are not won by nobility and kindness unlike the unrealistic military culture that Westerners now possess and are trying to impose in Ukraine. (Demchenko, Bondar),
    North Korean soldiers do not surrender, they have a frantic and dynamic rhythm during the assaults.

  34. Wouldn't it be nice if there if after this war there was a tiny diaspora of North Koreans in Europe, just because Zelensky let them stay here.
