Foreign. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims that North Korea is not only supplying Russia with weapons, but is now also sending soldiers to combat zones in Ukraine.
– We see increasingly strong cooperation between Russia and regimes such as North Korea. It is no longer just about arms deliveries, but also about sending people from North Korea to the occupying forces, says Zelenskyj.
The Ukrainian president emphasizes the importance of increased support from the West, as Ukrainian forces are both numerically and materially outnumbered along the front lines in eastern Ukraine. He warns that a lack of support risks leading to an even bigger conflict.
Earlier in October, South Korea’s defense minister also accused North Korea of having soldiers in Ukraine. He stated that six North Korean officers were killed in Donetsk during a Ukrainian missile attack on October 3, a claim first reported in Ukrainian media.
Although these allegations still lack concrete evidence, relations between Moscow and Pyongyang have deepened over the year, with several military delegations and a defense pact between the two countries.
