Ukraine says it has sent two North Korean soldiers who were captured in the war to South Korea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the news recently. These soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces during the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Sending these prisoners to South Korea is a major move. It highlights how North Korea is now helping Russia in the war. By sending them to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, Ukraine is showing the world that North Korean troops are definitely involved in the fighting.

Experts say this move is a big blow to North Korea’s image. It proves that their soldiers are being used in a war far from home. North Korea usually tries to keep its military activities secret, but having their own people captured and sent to an enemy country makes that much harder to hide.

This also puts pressure on South Korea to decide how they will help Ukraine. South Korea has been careful about sending weapons to help in the war, but this situation might change how they act.

For now, the two soldiers are in the hands of South Korean officials. The world is watching to see what happens next with the growing partnership between North Korea and Russia.
