South Korea to accept North Korean POWs captured in Ukraine

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul has held a phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha. In a statement, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said Cho reaffirmed his country’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and said it would accept any North Korean soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces if they wished to relocate to South Korea. Earlier this year, Ukrainian, US and South Korean assessments said North Korea had deployed thousands of soldiers to support Russian forces in their fight against Ukrainian troops.
