Comment: These poor ignorant devils went from the nightmare of living in North Korea to the nightmare of dying in Ukraine against determined, seasoned fighters that are using hi-tech equipment to decimate them. Simply put, Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin are soulless aberrations. What follows is strictly the transcript of the interrogation.

Interrogator: Did you and other North Korean servicemen undergo training on the use of Russian weapons and military equipment? If so, where and when?

POW/Translator: There were a few soldiers from North Korea who were trained to use heavy Russian equipment, but I personally did not undergo such training.

Interrogator: Where did you serve? In which unit?

POW: (I work) in a reconnaissance battalion.

Interrogator: Does your mother know where you are?

POW: No she doesn't.

Interrogator: How many people were on the ship that transported you from North Korea to Russia?

POW: Approximately over one hundred.

Interrogator: What kind of ship was it?

POW: I believe it was a Russian ferry, but not a military vessel — just one for transporting cargo.

Interrogator: Were only people on board or was there cargo as well?

POW: It was only us.

Interrogator: How many seats were in the train car you traveled in?

POW: The same people who were on the ferry were also on the train — there were no others, it was the same group.

Interrogator: Were there beds in the carriage, how many?

POW: There were six tables and beds. In total there were about 100 people.

Interrogator: Tell us about the beginning of your service in the ranks of the North Korean armed forces. Specifically, when did you begin your military service? How did it happen and so on? Where did you serve?

POW: Typically, after finishing school all men join the military. I also joined the army after finishing school and joined the reconnaissance division and stayed there for my entire service.

Interrogator: How old were you when you started your service?

POW: I was 17 years old.

Interrogator: Are you serving under contract or conscription?

POW: Not under contract, conscription.

Interrogator: Do you voluntarily wish to give truthful testimony about the circumstances of your participation in hostilities against Ukraine?

POW: First of all, as I've already said, I didn't know before coming to Russia that I would be fighting here, in Russia and I didn't even know who we were fighting against.

Interrogator: What do you know about the losses suffered by North Korean units during combat operations against the Armed Forces of Ukraine? In which battles, from what types of weapons, and how many casualties — both wounded and irrecoverable?

POW: There were a lot of casualties when I was there alone, starting from the battle on Jan. 3. Overall, it's hard to answer about such large-scale numbers.

Interrogator: What did you know about the world outside of North Korea?

POW: Not much.

Interrogator: Did you know anything about South Korea? What did you know?

POW: I only know that South Korea has fewer mountains than North Korea.
