"I want to thank everyone in the world who has responded to the appearance of North Korean soldiers in Russia. And who has reacted not only with words, but is also preparing appropriate actions to support our defense here in Ukraine. Terror, unfortunately, can spread like a virus when it does not meet sufficient counteraction. Now the counteraction must be sufficient. Strong enough. The first battles with North Korean soldiers open a new page of instability in the world. Together with the world, we must do everything we can to make sure that this Russian step to expand the war, to escalate it, is a losing one. Both for him and for North Korea," Zelensky said.
