DPRK Soldiers in Ukraine and NATO instead of nuclear weapons: the main theses of Zelensky in Europe (video)
"North Korean officers are already in the territory of temporarily occupied territories and they train together with the Russian ones," Zelensky said. He explained that the exact number of North Korean soldiers is unknown, but intelligence reports on the intention to prepare 10,000 soldiers from different troops and not just infantry. "We know that North Korea is preparing a contingent to fight against Ukraine," Zelensky said.
The President of Ukraine has explained that the Russians are relying on such increases, since the Russian Federation does not have time to mobilize and suffer significant losses on the battlefield. In addition, the occupiers are looking for external support because there are negative moods in Russian society. "He (Putin - Ed. ) Receives help from North Korea with shells, equipment, and now even people. Plus Iran . . .
Unfortunately, we also have clear intelligence data that China is still actively helping Russia with this war," Zelensky emphasized. The President of Ukraine reported that during a meeting with a US presidential candidate from the Republican Party, Donald Trump, he spoke with him about the Budapest Memorandum and Security Guarantees. According to Zelensky, he said Trump that Ukraine has the right to either restore nuclear weapons or be a member of some security alliance.
Since, except NATO, Ukraine does not see itself anywhere - this is the option that suits Ukrainians. "We choose NATO - not nuclear weapons," the President of Ukraine emphasized. He stressed that Ukraine's invitation to NATO is not a "red line". "If you really want, and not only say that Ukraine will be in NATO and that it is very important for the safety of the European continent, then it should coincide with the actions . . . With whom" Red Lines " - with the killer?", - the President asked.
