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.
