Zelensky is ready to hand over two prisoners of war to Pyongyang…on one condition

Zelensky explained on the X platform that “Ukraine is ready to hand over the two soldiers to Kim Jong Un if he is able to organize their exchange with our captured fighters in Russia.”

The Ukrainian president also said on the X platform that “Ukraine is ready to hand over the two soldiers to Kim Jong Un if he is able to organize their exchange with our captured warriors in Russia.”

He added that it was “certain” that Kiev would capture “more” North Korean soldiers.

“For North Korean soldiers who do not want to return (to their country), there may be other options available,” Zelensky continued.

He said North Korean soldiers who want to “achieve peace by spreading the truth about this war in Korea will be given this opportunity.”

In addition, the Ukrainian president published a video clip of the interrogation of the two supposed North Korean captives, one of whom was lying on a bunk bed and the other sitting in a bed with a bandage around his jaw.

In the video, one of them speaks to a Ukrainian official through a translator, and says in translated comments that he did not know he would fight against Ukraine and that his commanders “told him it was just training.”

One said he wanted to return to North Korea, while the other declared he would do as he was told, but if given the chance, he wanted to live in Ukraine.

Zelensky’s offer comes the day after. Ukraine has captured two North Korean soldiers who were wounded while fighting against Kiev forces in the Russian Kursk region. No evidence of their nationality was provided.
