Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine will be forced to fight against North Korean troops should they enter the conflict.

In an evening address posted on Telegram, Zelenskyy said North Korean forces could appear on the battlefield “any day now.”

“Ukraine will be forced to actually fight against North Korea in Europe,” he said, adding: “These are the conditions when the lack of partners’ stronger decisions in support of Ukraine only encourages Putin to invest further in terror.”

Zelenskyy also called on Western allies to ramp up pressure on Russia, saying he expected more support.

    There’s a lot to say about how NK troops are designed to be inept in the warzone, but as long as they dig trenches or carry ammo, they still put additional stress on ukrainian army. They keep endure more than what they asked for and don’t seem to have means to end the war without being supported accordingly to a new threat that took place. Let’s assume these koreans are warfare masterminds, everyone of them, instead of writing them off, and call it like it is: two countries and unknown amount of mercs are fighting against one country, and this country needs a blank check on mil spending for they take it themselves and hasn’t yet called for official military intevention from any other state.
