BRUSSELS, Belgium — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday he had intelligence reports that North Korea was training 10,000 soldiers to support Russia in its fight against Kyiv.
'They are preparing on their land, 10,000 soldiers, but they didn't move them already to Ukraine or to Russia ,' Zelenskyy said after meeting NATO defense ministers.He made the claim about the 10,000 North Korean soldiers earlier Thursday after meeting EU leaders in Brussels — without initially making clear where they were being trained.
'In terms of the veracity, it is a little bit too early to tell, to get some ground truth behind actually what is happening here,' the official said.Zelenskyy earlier qualified North Korea's move as 'the first step to a world war', noting that Iran was also backing Russia with 'drones and missiles,' a claim that Tehran has repeatedly denied.
