  • Hello.

  • It's 1,056 days since Russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine.

  • And over the weekend, President Zelensky posted photographs of two North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine.

  • What do we know about these two men?

  • Well, importantly, they were captured in Russia's Kursk region where Ukraine has launched its own incursion.

  • According to President Zelenskyy, it wasn't so easy to capture them because he said Russian forces kill wounded North Koreans specifically to prevent their capture.

  • The Ukrainian Security Service later published details of their interrogation, saying that they don't speak English or Russian, let alone Ukrainian.

  • They're pretty young.

  • And one of them said that he had not been told he was going to war with Ukraine.
