Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released additional newspaper videos of North Korean prisoners on social media X on the 20th local time.

The soldier in the video is a soldier captured by Ukrainian forces in Kursk, western Russia, and is one of the two North Korean soldiers that President Zelensky disclosed on the 12th.

The investigator asked him if he had been trained in using Russian-made weapons and military equipment.

The North Korean soldier replied, "I'll pick several people and teach them how to use Russian weapons and equipment," but he said he had never received any education in this regard.

When asked if he knew anything about the North Korean military's loss of troops, he answered, "There were many of my colleagues who came with me, but I don't know how much overall."

Asked if his mother knew that he was dispatched to Russia, he replied, "No."

The soldier said he didn't know anything about other countries and said of South Korea, "I just know that there are not many mountains (than North Korea)."

In addition, President Zelenskyy posted an article in Korean along with the video.

The post reads in Korean, "The captured North Korean military and Ukrainian security service investigators continue to communicate."
