How an X account pushed an unsubstantiated Tim Walz abuse allegation
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused North Korea of sending not only weapons but also soldiers to help Russia in its war against Ukraine.
“We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea,” Zelenskyy said in his video address on Sunday night. “This is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces.”
He said Ukraine and its allies needed to evolve their response in light of Russia’s deepening alliances and reiterated his call for increased military support to prevent a bigger war.
“The front line needs more support,” he said. “When we talk about giving Ukraine greater long-range capabilities and more decisive supplies for our forces, it’s not just a list of military equipment. It’s about increasing the pressure on the aggressor – pressure that will be stronger than what Russia can handle. And it’s about preventing an even larger war.”
Zelenskyy’s pleas to Ukraine’s allies to allow it to use longer-range missiles to attack military targets deep inside Russia and reduce its capacity for war have so far failed.
