One thing that's still unclear, but I guess its not that important: the article made it sound like the captured DPRK POWs asked to be sent to South Korea (because north korea bad), but more plausibly South Korea just wanted prisoners for leverage and swaps, and had more use for them than Ukraine does. That would explain their desire to keep it from being publicized by elensky.

Exactly, it's obviously not done for any sort of humanitarian reasons.

thanks for spelling this out -- i've confused as to why it matters so that much that people don't know that this is happening.
