President Volodymyr Zelensky raised alarm about potential North Korean military involvement in Ukraine, warning it could spark wider international tensions. In a social media post, he detailed intelligence about two North Korean military units, approximately 12,000 troops total, allegedly preparing to support Russian operations.
“We have strategies to counter this threat, but we need our allies fully engaged,” Zelensky stated, highlighting the critical need for international unity. He acknowledged support from countries opposing North Korean intervention while emphasizing that stronger measures are necessary.
Addressing the broader implications, Zelensky cautioned that North Korean intervention in European conflicts would demand heightened international pressure on Pyongyang. He warned that any delay in resolving the conflict would only strengthen aggressive actors.
“Inaction equals enabling Putin’s war effort. Concrete steps, not just declarations, are needed now,” Zelensky declared, pushing for immediate international intervention to prevent further escalation.
The prospect of North Korean military participation represents a significant shift in the conflict’s dynamics, threatening broader international security.
