00:00Ukraine's released videos of what it says are two North Korean soldiers that have been
00:06captured.
00:07One of them, interestingly, says he wants to stay in Ukraine.
00:10And I'm just wondering what you think of that, because some analysts have said that if he
00:14goes back to Pyongyang, he faces a fate that, according to that analyst, is even worse than
00:21death.
00:22Well, it probably would be death, actually.
00:23I think it's quite open speculation that that could happen.
00:29Yes, you've got the very strong point, because with North Korea, when you've got this absolutely
00:38almost science fiction regime there, and it is a military regime with sort of half nukes,
00:45because how effective their nuclear forces is still open to question, but they've been
00:48developing one, there is no doubt, and they have warheads.
00:53The thing that is their weakness is leakage of information, that information could come
01:00back.
01:01So they do not want returnees, and leakage, i.e. conjecture, is one of the biggest problems
01:07for North Korea out of this.
