Ukrainian president calls on countries to step in before troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reach battlefield

Ukraine’s president urged allies to stop “watching” and take steps before North Korean troops deployed in Russia reach the battlefield, while the army chief said his troops were facing “one of the most powerful offensives” by Moscow since the full-scale war began.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy raised the prospect of a pre-emptive Ukrainian strike on camps where the North Korean troops are being trained and said Kyiv knows their location. But he said Ukraine can’t do it without permission from allies to use western-made long-range weapons to hit targets deep inside Russia.

“But instead … America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching. Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians as well,” Zelenskyy said in a post late on Friday on the Telegram messaging app.

      Huh. That literally just happened, because I was reading it before I posted the comment.

        Someone saw your comment and went in to delete it. You know how it is throughout history: the good guys always wins (according to history books).

          The new page has a clear section for north korea, and lists wars newer than the ugandan bush war for it.
          To me it seems more like someone noticed the original page was severely behind and decided to therefore merge it into the korea article, since apparently noone was maintaining it otherwise.
