Seoul plans to hold consultations with Kyiv regarding the transfer of captured North Korean soldiers if they request defection, Yonhap reported on Jan. 14, citing South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lee Jae-woong. President Zelensky recently announced capture of two North Korean soldiers in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. Since North Korean soldiers are our citizens under the constitution, our govt plans to have talks with Ukraine if they ask to defect to South Korea," Lee said. South Korean constitution defines entire Korean peninsula as its territory, considers all residents as citizens. However, neither of captured soldiers has expressed a willingness to be transferred to South Korea, Lee added.
