Zelensky: Russia uses fighters from 47 countries in Ukraine war

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of using fighters from 47 countries in its war against Ukraine, and confirmed the capture of two North Korean soldiers sent to South Korea. He made the remarks at the UN, vowing to make winter painful for Russia. Zelensky cited citizens from Ghana, Nepal, and India among foreign fighters, and highlighted Russia's growing defense ties with North Korea. He also announced new drone deals with Finland and Australia, with another being prepared with Canada, as Kyiv expands its drone technology partnerships. Zelensky warned Ukraine may target Russian heating and energy facilities this winter in retaliation for Moscow's strikes on civilian infrastructure. He stressed Kyiv aims to cut Russia's oil revenue, not destroy its fuel supplies, and urged limiting trade with the aggressor.
