North Korea is training soldiers for war against Ukraine, - Zelenskyy

North Korea is already preparing a contingent to fight against Ukraine. It is not only about infantry, but also about specialists from various military services.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a press conference following his participation in a meeting of the European Council.

According to him, there is information from Ukrainian intelligence that North Korean officers are already in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. They are training Russian soldiers.

“I do not know the number of officers, but there is intelligence that Russia is counting on such reinforcement. Because Russia is not able to keep up with mobilization. It loses too many on the battlefield. And Putin knows that his society is against mobilization. That is why he is looking for external support,” the president said.

Zelenskyy said that Russia and the DPRK intend to train 10,000 soldiers from various branches of the armed forces and ground forces.

“That is, he (Putin - ed.) wants to involve not only infantry, but also specialists from various branches of the military, including tactical ones. And we know that North Korea is already preparing a contingent to fight against Ukraine. This is a very urgent thing,” the head of state said.

Zelenskyy said he had talked to the United States and a number of leaders about this, as it is actually the involvement of another country in the war.
