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.

Probably hard to convince a North Korean that South Korea is different from whatever the North's propaganda shows it as. Plus they might have family in the North.

A lot of ppl in both Koreas also have family in the other part.
