Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a new interrogation video of a captured North Korean soldier on his social media account. The soldier explained in the video how he was left alone for days, injured, and drugged by Ukrainian soldiers and taken prisoner. Regarding the soldier captured wounded in the Kursk region of Russia, Zelenskyy said, “The world will learn the whole truth about how Russia used these men who grew up in ignorance, who were completely unaware of Ukraine and who were sent to the front only to prolong this war.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released a new video showing the interrogation records of North Korean soldiers who were wounded and taken prisoner in the Kursk region of Russia.
Speaking in Korean, the soldier said, “Everyone including me was injured, so we took shelter in a shelter. Then we moved towards the forest to retreat, but I was injured in my leg and I couldn’t move any further.”
The fabricated documents made him appear to be a 26-year-old from the Tuva Republic in southern Siberia at the time of his capture. This illustrated the difficulties that North Korean soldiers faced when deployed to the battlefield without knowing Ukrainian or Russian.
But neither he nor his unit took any Ukrainian soldiers as hostages or prisoners.
