Zelensky accused North Korea of sending troops to support the Russian army
The close relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang has long been known, and the fact that North Korea assists its ally Russia by sending weapons has been an open secret for a long time. However, there are now indications that not only equipment but also personnel from North Korea have participated in Russia’s offensive operations against Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, has accused North Korea of sending manpower to support Russia’s advance in Ukraine. On Sunday, October 13th, he said in a video message, ‘We are witnessing an increase in the alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea.’
Zelensky pointed out that it is no longer just about sending weapons, but that North Korean soldiers have also been dispatched to support the occupying forces.
