The North Korean army has already lost 4 thousand troops in Russia's war against Ukraine. President Vladimir Zelensky said this during a meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine in the Ramstein format on Thursday, January 9.

Putin not only continues his investment in aggression, he doubles it. He even started hiring soldiers from North Korea to keep this war going.. North Korea studies modern warfare. They don't value their people. And we know it. They are losing them - 4 thousand as of now,"

At the same time, Zelensky noted that the DPRK is gaining cheap experience “for re-exporting the war, perhaps there, in the Indo-Pacific region”.

In his opinion, such cooperation between Russia and the DPRK shows Putin’s weakness.

" Therefore, we must continue to put pressure on Russia. This is what ensures that our soldiers have the weapons they need.. That's what sanctions are for.

And I ask all our partners - especially the US and the EU - to turn up the heat in the Russian energy sector,"

Earlier it was reported that in just two days and only in one location in the Kursk region, Russia lost up to a battalion of North Korean military personnel and its own paratroopers.
