Thousands of North Korean troops are being prepared to fight on Russia's behalf in Ukraine and some North Korean officers have already been deployed there, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says.
The United States and other allies of Ukraine have long accused North Korea of sending weapons to Russia, and in recent days Zelenskiy has said North Korean personnel are being sent as well.
"We have information from our intelligence that ... some officers of the North Korean army are already on Ukrainian territory temporarily occupied by the Russian enemies. So they joined the Russian army," Zelenskiy told a news conference in Brussels.
