Russia actually involved North Korea in war against Ukraine – President Zelenskyy makes statement
There is evidence that russia has begun to use a significant number of soldiers from North Korea in assaults.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in an evening address on December 14.
According to him, the russians are including them in consolidated units and using them in operations so far only in the areas of the Kursk Oblast, however, there is already information that the North Koreans will begin to be used in other areas of the front.
"The losses among this category are already noticeable," Zelenskyy said. "In fact, Moscow has drawn another state into this war, and drawn it as much as possible. And if this is not escalation, then what is the escalation that many have been talking about? It is Putin who is taking steps that are expanding and continuing this war. It is he who is pushing the world away."
The President of Ukraine warned that putin wants more problems in Asia, because that is precisely why, in his opinion, "the Russians are teaching North Korea modern warfare."
"It is obvious that Moscow is ignoring the calls of all countries, from China and Brazil to many others, about the need to do everything to de-escalate. If there is no tough reaction from the world, Russia is making the war worse. It always is. We will defend ourselves, in particular against these North Koreans. We will continue to act in coordination with all our partners to stop this war – stop it reliably, with a guaranteed peace," Zelenskyy added.
