Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused North Korea of escalating its military support, alleging that the Asian country is no longer limiting its assistance to equipment, but has sent personnel to the front lines alongside Russian troops.

The Ukrainian president spoke late last week about North Korea's increased backing of its Russian ally by deploying soldiers to Ukraine.

"We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea. This is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces," he said.

He called on Ukraine’s allies to reassess their response to the relationship between the two countries, urging the West to provide more weapons.

"The front line needs more support. When we talk about giving Ukraine greater long-range capabilities and more decisive supplies for our forces, it’s not just a list of military equipment. It’s about increasing the pressure on the aggressor – pressure that will be stronger than what Russia can handle. And it’s about preventing an even larger war," he emphasized.
