Zelensky: Russia will deploy up to 50,000 North Korean soldiers on its territory

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that Russia is preparing to receive a new contingent of 30,000 to 50,000 North Korean soldiers, a higher estimate than that provided in July.

Zelensky warns about the intensification of military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang and states that Ukraine has already identified North Korean missiles on its territory.

Additionally, Zelensky has requested closer cooperation with South Korea, especially in the field of air defense, mentioning Ukraine's deficit in this sector. Ukrainian diplomats are already in contact with South Korean authorities for possible agreements, according to Zelensky.

In the context of the alliance between Russia and North Korea, Zelensky highlighted the economic impact of this collaboration on Pyongyang, which has obtained significant revenue from military support.
