About the POW’s recently captured by Ukrainian forces.
So as all of you know, the war (slaughter would be a better term) fares poorly for the soldiers of the DPRK. So far, 2 that we know of have been captured and a video of them was posted online as they answered questions to a translator helping Ukraine… one of them looked to be little more than a boy. His responses were absolutely heartbreaking when asked if he wanted to go back to the country that treated him as cannon fodder and didn’t even have the decency to be upfront about anything. Being told you’re going to “train” and then find yourself facing what would end up being a superior enemy, in that they are seeing and experiencing something their army hasn’t faced since their civil war. Now I know the rules of war changed things immensely, but I can’t help but feel for the younger captor especially when he ask if Ukrainian people are nice and if he could stay there… I honestly had tears welling up as I watched it. Since this is unprecedented in recent times, I am not sure how the government of the DPRK will react to this video and what might happen to the family he left behind. Most of me hopes he has no one home so he doesn’t feel the need to return, and also so more innocent individuals don’t suffer. Since the other soldiers didn’t even know of this and no one told them even when they were there, I wonder how they will word it. Will they say he left training? Will they tell the people of his “betrayal” and let the people know they are fighting alongside their comrades in Putin’s army?
I realize to speculate is near pointless, but it’s something I can’t stop thinking about and others may have knowledge of this. If anyone knows about anything, I’d appreciate any feedback! Hope everyone is doing good and remembers to be thankful for what they have, especially during such troubling times in the world 🤗
EDIT ASSUMING THIS IS TRUE Yes it could all be a show- not the part about there being North Korean soldiers, but the fact that what they’re saying is all coerced from either Ukraine and or the DPRK.
