Part 2/9:
Zelensky announced that around 4,000 North Korean soldiers have either been killed or wounded, reflecting the grim reality on the battlefield. Ukrainian special forces have captured several North Korean soldiers, further contributing to the losses. Initial reports indicate that around a thousand North Koreans have surrendered, with many captured soldiers indicating that they were unaware they were fighting alongside Russia and expressed confusion over commands due to language barriers.
The Ukrainian Security Service has shared that the brutal conditions of war have led to a notable increase in North Korean soldiers surrendering to Ukrainian forces. The ongoing "I Want to Live" initiative, aimed at encouraging enemy soldiers to surrender, has now extended to North Korean troops.
