President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that North Korea is preparing to send 30,000 troops to support Russia's military efforts in Ukraine. He stated that preparations are underway in Russia's Voronezh region, which is strategically located near the Ukrainian border and connected to key areas involved in the conflict. Zelenskyy noted that North Korea, which has a large standing army, has already sold significant amounts of weapons to Russia, potentially exceeding its annual GDP in value. Additionally, he suggested that Russia is planning further mobilizations to replenish its forces amid heavy casualties and increasing pressure from Ukrainian drone attacks. However, Russian officials have denied reports of new mobilizations, calling such claims 'rumors.'
