Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he is willing to release North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia in exchange for Ukrainian soldiers being held captive in Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he’s willing to hand over the soldiers to North Korea, if Kim Jong Un arranges for an exchange with Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia.

At least 300 North Korean soldiers sent to aid Russia in its war against Ukraine have been killed and another 2,700 have been injured, South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers on Monday.
