Doi soldați nord-coreeni capturați în Ucraina au fost transferați în Coreea de Sud. Anunțul lui Volodimir Zelenski
Ukraine has transferred two North Korean soldiers captured in Russia to South Korea, as announced by President Zelensky at the UN. The soldiers were taken prisoner in January 2025 during the ongoing conflict involving North Korea's support for Russia. Zelensky mentioned the difficulty of capturing them, with one attempting suicide upon realization of his capture. Human rights organizations advocated for their transfer to South Korea to avoid potential reprisals in North Korea. Reports indicate the soldiers expressed a desire to remain in South Korea. The South Korean government has not confirmed details due to security concerns. Zelensky criticized North Korea's involvement in the war, claiming they sent troops to Russia for benefits, with estimates suggesting 14,000-15,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed since 2024.
