Russia is already firing ammunition from North Korea at Ukraine. Now Moscow also seems to be bringing soldiers from there. Ukraine is asking for protection from this escalation.
Because of possible combat missions by North Korean soldiers on the side of Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj is calling for international pressure on the leadership in Pyongyang. “If North Korea can interfere in the war in Europe, then the pressure on this regime is definitely not enough,” Zelensky said in a video message. “It is clear that Pyongyang, like Moscow, does not count people and does not respect human life.” Such an expansion of the Russian war of aggression must be stopped.
Kyiv expects up to 12,000 North Koreans
News that Russia could increase its troops with North Koreans has been circulating for days. South Korea has also warned against this, citing intelligence findings. “In particular, we have information about the training of two units of the North Korean military – perhaps even two brigades with 6,000 men each,” said Zelensky in Kiev.
Moscow has commented evasively on the reports. The Russian army is gradually advancing in eastern Ukraine, but is suffering heavy losses. The Kremlin wants to avoid a mobilization of Russian men for fear of discontent among the population. Russia and the isolated communist dictatorship have promised each other military assistance. North Korea has already delivered ammunition and missiles.
