President of Ukraine
According to the head of state, it is now extremely important for the international community to finally realize: the threat of aggravation of the situation around the Korean Peninsula and in neighboring regions and water areas increases in proportion to the growth of cooperation between Russia and the DPRK.
"The transfer of the experience of modern warfare and the spread of military technology from Russia is a global threat," Zelenskyy stressed.
Russians shocked by behavior of North Korean soldiers
It recently became known that a split is brewing in the Russian army due to conflicts between the Russian occupiers and the North Korean military, who are fighting on Moscow's side against Ukraine.
As it turned out, the Russians were suffering from the careless handling of weapons by Korean soldiers.
In addition, Russian soldiers are irritated by the fact that mercenaries from the DPRK are kept and trained separately from the Russians, while the DPRK soldiers have "little theory, but a lot of practice", although the North Koreans have "the same dugouts, but located separately".
According to one of the captured occupiers, there was a case when the Koreans opened fire on Russian soldiers as they advanced into position.
He also mentions an incident when a North Korean shot his "brothers" in the legs.
