【ソウル時事】ウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領は23日、国連総会の一般討論演説で、ロシアによるウクライナ侵攻支援のため派遣され、ウクライナ軍の捕虜になった北朝鮮兵士2人を韓国に送ったと明らかにした。2人は捕虜になった後、韓国への亡命の意思を示していた。韓国政府も移送を事実上認めた。

冬までに緊張緩和訴え ロシアのウクライナ侵攻で―ゼレンスキー氏

韓国メディアによると、ウクライナ軍の捕虜になった北朝鮮兵士の韓国移送は初めて。

ゼレンスキー氏は「1人は自分が捕虜になると分かった時、自殺を図り、運命が自分を死なせなかったことに衝撃を受けていた」と指摘。「これが北朝鮮で人々を育てるやり方だ。彼らの自由と選択する権利を奪っている」と批判した。また、金正恩朝鮮労働党総書記について「兵士を通貨のように利用し見返りを得ている」と非難した。

韓国外務省当局者は時事通信の取材に「ウクライナ側をはじめ関係国・機関と必要な意思疎通と協議を行ってきた」と説明。「当事者や家族の身の安全に関わる敏感な事案だ」として、時期や経路などの確認は避けた。

Trump administration-led Gaza reconstruction plan announced, totaling $2.45 billion

The Peace Council, the interim governing body for the Palestinian autonomous region of Gaza led by the Trump administration, held a meeting in New York on the 23rd and announced a six-month reconstruction plan for Gaza. The plan consists of 66 projects, with a total budget of $2.45 billion (approximately 387.8 billion yen). In Gaza, where 20 people were killed when a residential building collapsed and Israeli attacks reportedly caused damage, the project includes setting up temporary housing, rebuilding hospitals and schools, clearing debris, and training international stabilization forces. High Representative Mladenov stressed that he is ready to proceed with implementation once funding and access is secured, but the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is fragile and delays in funding are an issue.
