President Zelensky of Ukraine posted a picture on X last Saturday that showed a captured solder lying on a thin mattress with a rough grey blanket draped across his legs. His hand is heavily bandaged and he stares into the camera with a look of trepidation.
In another photograph, a second soldier is wrapped in military fatigues with his bruised and swollen jaw swaddled in gauze. The two men were North Koreans, some of the first prisoners of war from the secretive state captured in combat since the Korean War that began in 1950.
