Zelensky Says North Korea Preparing to Deploy 10,000 More Troops to Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that North Korea was preparing to send an additional 10,000 soldiers to Russia.

More than 8,000 North Korean troops are already on Russian territory, according to the Ukrainian president.

Zelensky described the planned deployment as a further addition to that presence, distinguishing the troops already in Russia from those being prepared for dispatch.

The account provided no timetable for the additional deployment or details about where the soldiers would be stationed or what duties they would carry out.
