England has eased its lockdown from Monday. Non-essential shops, libraries, restaurants, pubs, gyms, beauty salons have opened their doors in the country. Pubs and restaurants allowed to serve customers outdoors until May 17.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated on social media that one of the two North Korean soldiers, who were captured in the ongoing clashes in Russia’s Kursk region, was sent to Russia for training, not to fight against Ukraine.
It was reported that one of the soldiers was born in 2005 and has been serving in the North Korean army since 2021, while the other soldier was born in 1999 and has been serving as a sniper in the North Korean army since 2016.
“The two soldiers are alive, although wounded, and have been transported to Kiev. They are currently communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine. This was not an easy task. Russian forces and other North Korean soldiers usually execute their wounded in order to eliminate any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine. I am grateful to the soldiers of the 84th Tactical Group of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our paratroopers who captured these two men. Like all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers are receiving the necessary medical assistance,” Zelensky said yesterday.
