Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims that Kiev’s partners are only “watching.” “We see every site where Russia is amassing these North Korean soldiers on its territory… We could strike preventively if we had the ability to strike long enough,” he says.
In response to a North Korean soldier deployment in Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs authorization from its partners to launch long-range missiles into the country.
“We can observe all of the locations where Russia is gathering these North Korean soldiers on its soil, including their camps. “If we could strike long enough, we could strike preventively,” Zelenskyy stated in his Friday evening speech.
He said that rather of offering “the long-range capability that is so necessary,” Kiev’s partners were “just waiting for the North Korean military to start striking at Ukrainians.”
“Instead of providing the much-needed long-range capabilities, America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching,” he stated.
“Until victory.”
Up to 8,000 North Korean soldiers, trained and prepared for battle, have arrived in Russia’s border region with Ukraine, the United States said Thursday.
The North Korean Foreign Minister declared earlier Friday that they would support Russia until they prevailed.
North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui stated, “We reiterate that we will always stand firmly by our Russian comrades until victory day.”
A further $425 million in military aid to Ukraine was revealed by the Pentagon on Friday.
