Quote: "Recently we sent two North Korean prisoners of war to the Republic of Korea… One of them – when he realised he was going to be taken prisoner – tried to kill himself and he was shocked that fate didn't let him die and this is how they raise people in the North [Korea]. It's reality. They take away their freedom. They take away their right to choose and they drill into them that they must die. no matter what."

Details: Zelenskyy added that Russia is using citizens of 47 countries in its war, including Ghana, Nepal, Tajikistan, India, Yemen, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Belarus, Sudan and South Africa.

Quote: "I want to speak directly to every representative of these 47 countries. You know what Russia is doing with your people. It's your citizens. Take care of them and do not let them end up on another front. Do not let Putin drag you into this war. Do not let Russia put out its fires, cover up its shame, and pay for its madness with the lives of your people."
