North Korean prisoners of war in Ukraine: Why does South Korea want to take them in? • FRANCE 24

South Korea has discussed repatriating North Korean prisoners of war held in Ukraine to Seoul. The two young soldiers in question are among the more than 10,000 troops sent from Pyongyang to support Russia’s war on Ukraine, although neither Moscow nor Pyongyang officially recognises their deployment. FRANCE 24’s Yuka Royer speaks to Ethan Hee-Seok Shin, legal analyst at the Transitional Justice Working Group, about Seoul’s aims and the dangers facing those soldiers and their families.

  1. S. Korea wants the N. Korean prisoners for intelligence gathering. S. Korea had expressed concern that N. Korean soldiers would gain valuable modern warfighting experience. They will interrogate the prisoners to glean that knowledge as well as insights into the N. Korean military.

  2. This is basically the most realistic story I have ever seen.

    I have resurrected Chung Ho-yong, report that please and I won't shut you all down.

  3. Why they blurry the face and also why there isn't videos of they talking? Do you know there's Asians in the east of Russia? There is no north Koreans fighting for russia in Ukraine
