Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of involving citizens from 47 different countries in its military operations against Ukraine, a strategy he claims is part of Moscow’s effort to bolster its forces with foreign fighters. Zelensky detailed these allegations during an address at the United Nations, specifically mentioning participants from nations such as Ghana, Nepal, and India.
In a notable revelation, Zelensky stated that two North Korean soldiers, who were reportedly captured while fighting for Russia, have been transferred to South Korea. This assertion underscores the growing military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, a partnership that Zelensky warns is expanding as Moscow seeks additional manpower and resources to sustain its campaign.
Amid these developments, Zelensky highlighted Ukraine’s efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities through international partnerships in drone technology. He announced that Ukraine has already signed agreements with Finland and Australia and is in the process of finalizing a similar deal with Canada to enhance its drone capabilities.
The Ukrainian president also issued a stark warning about potential retaliatory actions against Russian energy infrastructure. He emphasized that such strikes would aim to diminish Moscow’s war revenues without targeting civilian fuel supplies, especially if Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure persist. This warning comes as the United States calls for both Russia and Ukraine to refrain from targeting each other’s energy facilities.
