As evidence mounts that North Korea is deploying thousands of soldiers to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party (DP) has slammed a proposal to dispatch an interrogation team to Ukraine to potentially question North Korean prisoners or war (POWs).

DP leader Lee Jae-myung on Monday suggested that the Yoon administration may be trying to spread “torture techniques around the world,” raising questions about the potential risks and ethical implications of the government’s proposal.
