President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Ukraine’s allies to stop “watching” and take action to tackle the presence of North Korean troops in Russia before they start confronting his country in combat.
Zelenskiy, in a video posted on Telegram, said North Korea had made progress in its military capability, missile deployment and weapons production and “now unfortunately they will learn modern warfare”.
“The first thousands of soldiers from North Korea are near the Ukrainian border. Ukrainians will be forced to defend themselves against them,” he said. “And the world will watch again.”
I really hope the silence from allies is because we are waiting for the American election to be over.
All limitations on Ukraine need to be lifted, and USA has only supplied 10% of what they promised.Ukraine has fought admirably, it’s time we help them to end this. Not just enable them to draw it out indefinitely.
Look y’all. North Korea and Russian recently signed a mutual defense pact. There’s a clear reason why NK troops are only being deployed in Kursk, which is so it looks legitimate. NK is protecting Russia’s borders.
All any country has to do is sign a mutual defense pact with Ukraine and pile on. That’s all he’s saying. I mean, I’m shocked Poland hasn’t already signed on… they’re spoiling for a fight.
Poland is all in for the defense
of Poland
They’ve sent a lot of weapons compared to their GDP. Probably only behind the US on that ratio.
Here’s actual statistics: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303450/bilateral-aid-to-ukraine-in-a-percent-of-donor-gdp/
Apparently Denmark is leading the pack with 1.83%, closely followed by the 3 Baltic countries. Poland is 7th with 0.68%. The usa is “only” at 0.35%, which is still by far the most of any of the non european nations that have send help, and also significantly more than a bunch of eu nations.
This is all aid, so weapons, humanitarian and financial. With the different kinds split out: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303432/total-bilateral-aid-to-ukraine/
Thank you for the real stats and correction.
As long as they understand that defending Ukraine equals defending Poland, they will continue sending help… but they let mobs blocking the entrance of humanitarian help “Israel style” for months last year and the issue with the repair of leopards was scandalous
Doesn’t North Koreans fighting in Ukraine mean that North Korea now is at war with Ukraine? Wouldn’t that legitimize a Ukrainian invasion of North Korea? Could we ship some Ukrainians to North Korea and have them do a lot of damage there; including offer asylums to anyone who wants to get out?
Can they do anything against North Koreans inside of Russia?
If so does the same apply to American troops in Israel?
They have already started an illegal war against Ukraine. And they should already be sanctioned to maximum. What kind of difference it makes if they fight with an ally or not?
What does that mean? “take action”… “tackle the presence”
Does he mean NATO boots on the ground?
You could read the article. But who am I kidding, I don’t often read the article either.
Zelenskiy said Ukraine had pinpointed every location where North Korean soldiers were posted in Russia. But Kyiv’s Western allies, he said, had not supplied the long-range weapons needed to strike them
Doesn’t have to be NATO, it could be bilateral agreements, like Russia did with North Korea.
