President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has released an address in which he clarified the situation with the enemy's use of military personnel from North Korea. According to the head of state, Russia has dragged another country into the war, UNN reports.
"Today, there is already preliminary evidence that the Russians have begun to use soldiers from North Korea in assaults - a significant number of them. The Russians include them in combined units and use them in operations in the Kursk region. So far, only there. But we have information that they may be used in other parts of the frontline. Losses among this category are already noticeable," Zelensky said.
According to the President, Moscow has actually dragged another state into this war, and dragged it as much as possible.
"And if this is not an escalation, then what is the escalation that many have been talking about? It is Putin who is taking steps to expand and prolong this war. It is he who pushes away the possibility of peace. And he wants the world to have more problems in Asia as well. That is why Russians are teaching North Korea modern warfare," the Head of State emphasized.
According to Zelenskyy, it is clear that "Moscow is ignoring the calls of all countries, from China and Brazil to many others, to do everything to de-escalate.
"If there is no tough reaction from the world, Russia makes the war worse. This is always the case," Zelensky emphasized.
He emphasized that Ukraine will defend itself, including against "these North Koreans.
"We will continue to act in a coordinated manner with all our partners to stop this war - to stop it reliably, with a guaranteed peace.
Next week we will talk in Europe about our joint work. Sanctions against Russia, support for our defense, investment in the common defense of Europe and strong diplomacy for peace - this is what must increase every week so that next year, together with our partners, we can achieve our main goal," the President said.
