North Korea to deploy 30K troops to Russia, says Ukrainian President Zelenskyy
North Korea is preparing to deploy 30,000 fresh troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, while claiming that Moscow is preparing to mobilize Russians to boost its flagging campaign.
Russia needs combat troops, and North Korea, with the world’s fourth-largest army, has more than 1 million active troops. The economically challenged regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, meanwhile, has been selling so many arms to Russia that the value of the exports over three years likely exceeds its annual gross domestic product.
“Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea,” the Ukrainian leader wrote on X Sunday in advance of his scheduled trip this week to Washington to meet with President Trump and attend the funeral of Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican and longtime defender of Ukraine. “Since June, preparations have been underway in Russia’s Voronezh region to receive them.”
