SBU provides details of interrogation of DPRK prisoners of war
The intelligence service noted that communication with North Korean soldiers takes place through Korean translators and in cooperation with South Korean intelligence.
It is also interesting that the SBU noted that the DPRK soldier, like the Russian military at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, claimed that he was going to training, not to war against Ukraine.
At the time of his capture, one of the North Korean soldiers was carrying a Russian-issued military ID issued in the name of another person registered in the Republic of Tuva, and the other was undocumented.
During the interrogation, the prisoner with the military ID said that he had been issued the document in Russia in the fall of 2024. At that time, he said, some of North Korea’s combat units had been training with racist groups for a week. He also added that he was born in 2005, served as a rifleman, and had been in the military in North Korea since 2021.
Another prisoner of war confirmed his “partner’s” testimony. He gave some of his answers in writing because he had a jaw injury. According to preliminary data, he was born in 1999 and has been serving in the DPRK army since 2016 as a sniper scout.
