When one of the prisoners is questioned if he realised he was fighting against Ukraine, he shakes his head in denial. As the interpreter translated, the prisoner was told he was merely going for training.

The prisoner originally expressed a desire to remain in Ukraine, but subsequently stated that he would "do as he is ordered". The interpreter explained, "If he has to return, he will. If given the chance, he will stay here."

Another North Korean prisoner nodded affirmatively when asked if he wanted to return to North Korea.

Surely for disgracing the fatherland, 3 generations rule for him before return...

North Korea doesn't want any of those troops coming home and talking about their time abroad.

Getting captured is probably going to get them fed to hungry dogs.
