SEOUL—South Korea’s National Intelligence Service on Sunday backed up Ukraine’s account of having captured two wounded North Korean soldiers this week in
Russia, after Kyiv said they were being questioned.
But Kyiv did not present direct evidence that the captured men were North Korean and AFP was unable to independently verify their nationalities.The NIS similarly said one of the captured soldiers revealed during his interrogation that he received military training from Russian forces after arriving there in November.
Zelenskyy said last month that nearly 3,000 North Korean soldiers had been “killed or wounded” there, while Seoul put the figure at 1,000. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement last month that Pyongyang is reportedly “preparing for the rotation or additional deployment of soldiers” to aid Russia’s war effort.
