It is a highly symbolic prize of war. “Ukrainian forces captured their first North Korean prisoner of war alive on December 26 in the Kursk region of Russia,” announces the South Korean daily Chosun Ilbo, adding that the soldier in question finally died on Friday December 27 as a result of his injuries.
This is the Gukga Jeongbowonthe intelligence services of South Korea, which revealed this information, claiming to have cross-referenced this data with that of a “friendly country”. Before this confirmation, this is the Ukrainian military news site Militarnyi who had collected the first elements, according to which the army’s Special Operations Forces (FOS) captured this “mercenary from Korea”, to use the expression used.
At the same time, a photo circulated on the Telegram loop the_warshal18, which shows “the serious general condition of the prisoner and traces of injuries”, continues Militarnyi. In Seoul, The Korea Times republished this image of a man with an emaciated face, taken by Ukrainian SOF. They have not yet specified whether they had time to question the prisoner.
