Ukrainian soldiers on capturing North Korean POW

After numerous attempts, Ukrainian forces operating in Russia’s Kursk Oblast have finally captured two North Korean soldiers. President Volodymyr Zelensky called this “irrefutable evidence” of Pyongyang’s involvement in the Kremlin’s full-scale war against Ukraine. One of the two soldiers was taken prisoner by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces. Watch this video to find out why capturing North Korean soldiers is so challenging — and how Ukrainian forces ultimately succeeded.

Imagine being taken prisoner in war and instead of being tortured to death, you get liberated from your own country.

Imagine yourself on a battlefield, with a drone behind you, making the noise of a giant wasp, with a bomb instead of a stinger. A complete nightmare.

Showing his face probably means his family is now punished

wow thats embarassing for Russia... Ukraine saying the Korean soldiers fight way better than the Russians

[Outdoor-Avenger]

I’m sure the North Korean soldier was treated better by the Ukrainian soldiers than Russia or North Korean Military

[MeSeiver]

Poor souls.. They were told that they were going for training in Russia by their dictator apperantly..

Excellent work! Those two special ops soldiers were very talkative and provided a great testimony.

I'm fighting in the Kursk direction, there are almost no Russian soldiers there anymore, they have been completely replaced by Koreans, Ukraine is officially fighting independently against two states

[KuriusOranj]

This is likely the most honest-sounding information on the war that I've heard, and I've viewed a lot of content through YouTube. Thank you!

Great job and interview.Getting to hear this from a serving Ukrainian soldier is priceless.

[JohnOhkumaThiel]

That guy probably has never been treated so kindly in his life as when he became a prisoner of war in Ukraine.

[davidturner]

I admire the Ukrainians because they are able to maintain their humanity even in the midst of this unjust attack by Russia. They deserve every bit of help and the utmost respect from the rest of the world.

The North Korean solder was probably thinking: “Man! I should’ve surrendered earlier”, “With this warmth bed and good food.”.

showing his face has more than likely doomed 4 generations of his family

[Oldbugger]

Outstanding report, thank you, all the very best to you all.🇬🇧

Why does the self-described superpower Russia have to rely on NK troops?
It's obvious that without the support of their North Korean and Iranian backers, Russia would have lost a long time ago.

[SteveDelacruz-to]

God bless Ukraine for being humane ..these soldiers probably are afraid of what will happen to their families

Great interview with the sniper... contains additional personal opinion information from the sniper's battlefield analysis and is well worth the listen.
