10,000 North Korean soldiers are currently on the territory of Russia.

This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the Japanese agency Kyodo News.

The Head of State emphasized that North Korean troops are gaining knowledge about modern hybrid warfare, and this is extremely dangerous.

They are learning to counter missiles and various types of drones, including fiber-optic drones — from FPV to long-range UAVs.

“They are training now on the territory of Russia because we are responding to Russian attacks. So they have such an opportunity. What will they do with this knowledge? At the very least, they will take this experience and knowledge home to North Korea”, — Volodymyr Zelensky said.

At the beginning of February, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported that a contingent of the DPRK army continues to participate in Russia’s criminal war against Ukraine on the aggressor’s side.

The Koreans are staying in the Kursk region, from where attacks are carried out on Ukrainian border communities.

They fire from tube artillery and multiple rocket launch systems, conduct aerial reconnaissance and artillery reconnaissance, and adjust MLRS strikes.
