Zelenskiy, in a video posted on Telegram, said North Korea had made progress in its military capability, missile deployment and weapons production and "now unfortunately they will learn modern warfare". Zelenskiy said Ukraine had pinpointed every location where North Korean soldiers were posted in Russia.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Ukraine’s allies to stop “watching” and take action to tackle the presence of North Korean troops in Russia before they start confronting his country in combat.

Zelenskiy, in a video posted on Telegram, said North Korea had made progress in its military capability, missile deployment and weapons production and “now unfortunately they will learn modern warfare”.

“The first thousands of soldiers from North Korea are near the Ukrainian border. Ukrainians will be forced to defend themselves against them,” he said. “And the world will watch again.”

    What does that mean? “take action”… “tackle the presence”

    Does he mean NATO boots on the ground?

      You could read the article. But who am I kidding, I don’t often read the article either.

      Zelenskiy said Ukraine had pinpointed every location where North Korean soldiers were posted in Russia. But Kyiv’s Western allies, he said, had not supplied the long-range weapons needed to strike them

      Doesn’t have to be NATO, it could be bilateral agreements, like Russia did with North Korea.
