North Korean officers are already on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at a briefing in Brussels.
These officers are training Russian soldiers. According to him, intelligence has the relevant data.
‘I do not know the number of officers, but there is intelligence that Russia is counting on such reinforcement,’ the president added.
The need for foreign soldiers has arisen due to the failure of Russian mobilisation.
According to the President of Ukraine, Russia is going to train 10,000 Korean soldiers from various branches of the armed forces. Not just infantry.
‘North Korea is already preparing a contingent to fight against Ukraine,’ the president said.
He stressed that this is an officially confirmed fact of entering the war against Ukraine. This is the only contingent, apart from the Russian one, that is taking part in the war. Iran provided Russia with weapons, but not troops.
