11:45Now PlayingDenis Karyakin was conscripted into the Ukrainian army from jail. He didn't volunteer. He was given a choice — go with us or go back to prison.
He ended up in a dugout in Kursk Oblast. Then the grenades came in. Then he heard a language he didn't recognize. Korean.
This is his full account of being captured by North Korean soldiers in Guyevo, Kursk Oblast — what happened, how they treated him, and what he wants the world to know.
🔸 Conscripted from jail — given no choice
🔸 Captured by North Korean soldiers in Guyevo, Kursk Oblast
🔸 "We knew Koreans don't take prisoners. We thought that was the end of our lives."
🔸 North Korean soldiers gave tourniquets to wounded Ukrainian soldiers
🔸 Ukrainian army abuses — soldiers taped to trees for drinking or trying to escape
🔸 Desertions almost every day
🔸 "Finish that war. Every family has grief. On both sides."
A conscript who didn't want to fight, captured by soldiers he never expected to meet, asking for one thing — peace.
