Kyiv: Russian President Putin has suffered a major setback in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. This shock is such that it is sure to be discussed from Ukraine to North Korea. Ukrainian President Zelensky has said that two North Korean soldiers were captured during an operation in the Kursk region of Russia. This is the first time that Ukrainian soldiers have captured North Korean soldiers alive. “Our troops have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region,” Zelensky said in a post on Twitter on Saturday. Two soldiers, who were injured, survived and were taken to Kiev, where they are now in talks with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). Photos of the injured soldiers were released along with the statement.
Ukraine and Western countries estimate that about 11,000 North Korean soldiers are deployed in the Kursk area. This is the same area whose area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers is occupied. Last week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said more than 1,000 North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded at Kursk in the last week of December. Zelensky said, ‘Capturing these two North Korean soldiers was not an easy task. Russian and North Korean soldiers usually kill their wounded soldiers, so that there is no evidence of North Korean involvement.
Our troops captured North Korean soldiers in Kurshchina. These are two soldiers who, despite being injured, survived, were taken to Kiev and are communicating with SBU investigators.
