North Korean soldiers in training camps near the front lines will soon be sent into battle. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed on Thursday when the first military personnel of Kim Jong Un's regime would appear.
Zelenskyy admitted in an interview with South Korean television station KBS that he expected Kim's soldiers to join the fight in the near future.
“It's a matter of days, not months,” the Ukrainian president said.
According to the information he has, there are currently about 3,000 people in training camp. Troops sent by North Korea to support Russia. However, this number is expected to increase to 12,000.

He said the Kremlin would throw more of Kim's people into the battlefield as the Russians have to struggle with increasing mobilization problems.
– This will have a negative impact on Putin's reputation, since most Russians do not support mobilization and do not want combat. For President Putin, North Korea is a way out of this situation, and a chance for the leader to gain combat experience. He said the North Korean leader, like President Putin, must not care about the lives of his soldiers.
