According to the president, Russia is involving citizens of other countries in the war against Ukraine and itself suffers enormous losses.
North Korea sent its soldiers to fight in Ukraine to fill gaps in the Russian army, which is suffering heavy losses.
This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his speech at the UN General Assembly.
According to him, the Russian Federation has lost a huge number of people in its attempt to occupy more than 1000 square kilometers of Ukrainian land, a substantial portion of which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already liberated. Zelensky said that Putin is paying for every new kilometer with the lives of 248 of his troops.
The Ukrainian president also drew the international community's attention to the involvement of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine. Zelensky said that Kim Jong Un uses his soldiers as currency, obtaining in return technologies to improve ballistic missiles and drones, which already pose a threat to all of Asia.
The Ukrainian president noted that recently Ukraine handed over to the Republic of Korea two prisoners of war from North Korea. One of them, while in captivity, attempted suicide, as North Korean propaganda completely deprives people of freedom.
Zelensky stressed that a war that is not timely stopped continues to grow, and he urged the world not to give aggressors more time to learn military affairs.
