Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a bold offer involving two captured soldiers, who are believed to be from North Korea.

In a video shared publicly, Zelensky extended an offer to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, suggesting that Ukraine would be willing to hand over the two soldiers in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners currently held by Russia.

Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is ready to facilitate such an exchange, provided Kim Jong-un can coordinate the return of Ukrainian soldiers from Russian captivity.

He also mentioned that there might be other options for North Korean soldiers who may not wish to return to their home country.

In the video, one of the captured soldiers spoke out, expressing confusion about his situation.

He revealed that he had no idea where he was or what was happening.

According to his statement, his superiors had informed him that he was heading for military exercises, only to end up in captivity.
