North Korean soldiers who fought on Russia's side against Ukraine have requested to be transferred to South Korea. The request was made during an interview for a documentary.<\/p>\n

It became known in the winter of 2025 that captured North Korean representatives wanted a "normal life" in the South. This time, it was reiterated once again.<\/p>\n

The interview was organized by Jang Se-yul, director of the Gyeore-eol Nation United organization. Here's what she confirmed:<\/p>\n

At the end of the interview, both men asked the producer to take them to the South<\/p>\n

– Jang Se-yul told AFP.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Returning to North Korea would be a "death sentence" for both men. According to South Korean intelligence, Pyongyang's military has orders to commit suicide to avoid capture.<\/p>\n

South Korea's constitution, on the other hand, stipulates that all Koreans, including North Koreans, are full citizens.<\/p>\n
