Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Transferred Two North Korean POWs to South Korea
Ukraine's president said two North Korean prisoners of war were sent to South Korea, criticizing Pyongyang for using its citizens to support Russia's war effort.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine has sent two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
In announcing the transfer, Zelenskyy criticized North Korea for what he described as using its citizens like "currency" to support Russia's war against Ukraine, pointing to Pyongyang's deployment of personnel in support of Moscow's military campaign.
North Korea has faced scrutiny over its involvement in aiding Russia's war effort, including reports of North Korean personnel being deployed to support Russian forces. The transfer of the two prisoners of war to South Korea marks a notable development in how captured North Korean nationals are being handled amid the conflict.
Further details on the circumstances of the transfer, including when and where it took place, were not included in the available report.
