President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shared the first video of the interrogation of the North Korean soldiers captured in Russia’s Kursk Oblast and stated that Ukraine is prepared to return them to their home country as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia.

When one of the prisoners is questioned if he realised he was fighting against Ukraine, he shakes his head in denial. As the interpreter translated, the prisoner was told he was merely going for training.

The prisoner originally expressed a desire to remain in Ukraine, but subsequently stated that he would “do as he is ordered”. The interpreter explained, “If he has to return, he will. If given the chance, he will stay here.”

Another North Korean prisoner nodded affirmatively when asked if he wanted to return to North Korea.

      North Korea doesn’t want any of those troops coming home and talking about their time abroad.
