Zelensky made this claim at a joint press conference with Mark Rutte, the new NATO Secretary General, and described it as “the first step towards a world war”.
According to Zelensky, the North Korean forces that are going to join the Russian army include infantry, ground forces and “other technical personnel”.
Ukraine’s president also claimed in late October that North Korea not only gives weapons to Russia, but also helps this country by sending troops in the war against Kiev.
The president of Ukraine claimed in a night speech: “We are witnessing the increase of alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea, and this cooperation is no longer limited to the transfer of weapons, but actually about sending people (troops) from Korea.” We are talking about the North and their addition to the forces of the occupying army!
According to him, considering the deepening of Russia’s relations with its allies, Ukraine and its supporters should develop and transform their response. He also emphasized his request to increase military support to Kiev for what he called to prevent a bigger war.
He added: The front line needs more support. When we talk about providing our forces with long-range weapons and determinative capabilities, we don’t just mean a list of military equipment. The issue is increasing pressure on the enemy; A pressure that is beyond Russia’s ability to manage, and the issue of preventing a war is even bigger!
Zelensky’s desperate requests and efforts from his allies to issue a license to use Western long-range missiles to attack deep into Russian soil and reduce the country’s capacity to continue the war have so far been fruitless.
However, referring to the continuation of efforts to get the green light, he added: True peace will only be achieved through power, and to achieve such power and true peace, all Next week will be spent working with our partners on this issue.
The heads of Western countries were supposed to meet last week in Germany about this issue, but US President Joe Biden canceled his trip due to Hurricane Milton, which hit Florida. He is expected to travel to Germany this week, with the Ukraine war at the top of his agenda.
Earlier, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun claimed that it was “highly possible” that North Korea would send troops to the battlefront in Ukraine to help Russia. He also claimed that with this account, the probability of the truth of the reports about the killing of North Korean officers in Ukraine is high. Russia has denied these reports. Relations between Moscow and Pyongyang have increased since the start of Russian military operations in Ukraine in February 2022. In September 2023, the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, traveled by train to the east of Russia and met with Vladimir Putin, his Russian counterpart, and visited the country’s bases and weapons factories.
Also, in June, Putin visited Pyongyang for the first time in 24 years, and Kim pledged full support and solidarity with Moscow in the war against Ukraine. . The United States, South Korea and Ukraine have accused Pyongyang of sending weapons to Russia. Observers of UN sanctions against North Korea claimed in April that the remains of the missile that hit Kharkiv on January 2 belonged to the North Korean-made Hwasong-11 ballistic missile.
