Zelensky criticizes Western allies for inaction on North Korean troops in Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized Western allies for their lack of response to the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia's Kursk region. He expressed concern that these troops could soon engage in combat. Zelensky noted that the presence of North Korean soldiers has not yet led to fighting, but he expects this to change quickly. He emphasized that the current Western reaction is insufficient and may embolden Russia to increase its military presence. The Pentagon has raised its estimate of North Korean troops in Russia to 10,000, up from 3,000. Zelensky has been warning allies about this situation since mid-October and is seeking stronger support from them.
