Putin's North Korean Soldiers

[Arby]

Well seeing the US and Britain are at war with Russia, not them 
And certainly nothing syndicated from Western sources

What about Al Jazeera from Qatar?
 Ukraine says it captured two North Korean soldiers in Russia’s Kursk

I understand some skepticism of war reporting because it's notorious for having inaccuracies due to propaganda from both sides. However there are videos on Telegram of Russians burning the faces off of fallen soldiers wearing Russian uniforms, which is something I never saw before the N Korean troops were alleged to be fighting in Kursk. Logically, there are reasons to do that if the the soldiers they are burning the faces off of are North Koreans, to try to hide the fact North Koreans are fighting in Kursk. Russia doesn't really have incentive to do that to other Russian soldiers for any reason I can think of, and has reasons NOT to do that because it's so disrespectful of the fallen comrades, whose families want the body returned for proper burial and will be more distressed if the corpse is intentionally disfigured like that. Think about it, having one's face burned off is not a normal war injury, like say an entire body being burned inside a destroyed burning vehicle might be more normal.

Regarding wanting to see the North korean prisoners interviewed, they have been interviewed, but is it a violation of the geneva convention for treatment of prisoners to allow media access to the prisoners, or to publicly air the interviews? I'm not an expert on that, but I think it might be a violation, so maybe your standards of evidence are unrealistic in this case if you expect Ukraine to violate the Geneva convention regarding prisoner treatment?

"The Geneva Conventions state that the questioning of prisoners should be carried out in a language they understand and prisoners must be protected against public curiosity.
BBC News and other international media have not yet verified Ukraine's account of the prisoners and their capture."

"prisoners must be protected against public curiosity" doesn't seem very well defined in that summary, but maybe it's more clear in the actual Geneva convention documents, which I may research later.
