President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that Russia, for the first time in its history, can no longer sustain a war without North Korean support, warning that Moscow is simultaneously helping Pyongyang improve weapons and combat capabilities.
“This is the first time in Russia’s history when they no longer have a strategic reserve,” Zelensky said in his Monday evening address. “For the first time, they cannot wage war without help from North Korea.”
Zelensky said Moscow is now preparing to deploy an additional North Korean military contingent on Russian territory and has received another delivery of ballistic missiles from Pyongyang.
He warned that the consequences extend far beyond Ukraine.
“Everyone who thinks seriously must understand what this means,” Zelensky said. “This is not only about the lives of people in Ukraine, and not only about threats specifically to us.”
