Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine will be forced to fight against North Korean troops should they enter the conflict.

In an evening address posted on Telegram, Zelenskyy said North Korean forces could appear on the battlefield “any day now.”

“Ukraine will be forced to actually fight against North Korea in Europe,” he said, adding: “These are the conditions when the lack of partners’ stronger decisions in support of Ukraine only encourages Putin to invest further in terror.”

Zelenskyy also called on Western allies to ramp up pressure on Russia, saying he expected more support.

      I can’t find the info now, but I really thought someone posted an article a few days ago about it. Unless my bad memory is acting up again.

        No, you are absolutely correct.

        There was a story about this just one or two weeks ago.

        Then within the last few days there was a new story they are training 3000 NK troops in Russia. Maybe they didn’t train the first batch enough lol.
