Ukraine is interrogating two North Korean soldiers captured while they were fighting for Russia in the Kursk region, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The pair, “though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine,” Zelenskiy said in a post on X that included photos of the alleged soldiers.
