Volodymyr Zelensky accuses Western countries of being passive regarding North Korean soldiers stationed in Russia
Hostility toward the West is growing in Kiev. “Instead of transferring the necessary long-range weapons, the United States, Britain and Germany are looking…” said the Ukrainian president. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has stressed that the military knows the location of North Korean soldiers in Russia but cannot attack them because they do not have the appropriate weapons.
On Friday, Volodymyr Zelensky published a recording of his speech on social media. In the video, the Ukrainian president stressed that his soldiers will be forced to fight Kim Jong Un's forces in Russia because Western countries have not provided them with adequate weapons.
– The first thousand soldiers from North Korea are near the border with Ukraine. Ukrainians will be forced to defend themselves from them and the world will once again take notice, he said.
