Kremlin declines to comment on North Korean POWs in Ukraine

The Kremlin declined to comment Monday on Kyiv saying it had captured North Korean soldiers fighting with Moscow's army in Russia's Kursk region, after President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested he was ready to exchange them for Ukrainian POWs. Russia has not denied or confirmed reports that thousands of North Korean soldiers have been sent to its border Kursk region to help Moscow fight off a Ukrainian incursion.
