Zelenskyy: North Korean troops entering Russia-Ukraine war is a “major escalation”

In a major escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed grave concerns over the involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict. This comes as North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has called for the mass production of attack drones, suggesting a direct military intervention in the ongoing crisis.

According to reports, Ukraine has accused North Korean troops of fighting on behalf of Moscow and supplying Russia with weapons. This troubling development has sparked international outrage and raised fears of the conflict spreading beyond the borders of Ukraine.

Experts have warned that the involvement of North Korean forces could significantly escalate the already volatile situation in Ukraine. Alexander Lipke and Gustav Gressel from the European Council on Foreign Relations have emphasized the potential consequences of North Korea’s military intervention, highlighting the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.

As the world watches with concern, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the presence of North Korean troops in the Russia-Ukraine war. President Zelenskyy’s strong condemnation of this new development underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for swift action to prevent further escalation.
