Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky accused North Korea on Sunday of sending troops to Russia’s army and once again appealed for more support to prevent “a bigger war”.
Zelensky’s comments came days after visiting several European capitals to press his case for more military and financial help in the war against invading Russian forces.
“We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like in North Korea,” Zelensky said in his evening address.
“It is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupier’s military forces.
“Obviously, in such circumstances, our relations with our partners need to be developed. The front line needs more support,” he said.
