Overview
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced readiness to exchange two captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainian prisoners in Russia, as casualties among North Korean troops surge due to inadequate training in modern warfare. South Korean intelligence reports around 300 North Korean soldiers killed and 2,700 wounded, with high risks of suicide orders among troops. Zelensky suggests options for North Koreans desiring to stay in Ukraine in exchange for promoting peace and truth about the war. Conditions for captured soldiers are dire, with their return to North Korea potentially leading to severe retribution.
