This information is taken very seriously by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who castigated the reaction on October 31.”zero“from the West, despite Washington’s very strong condemnation from the podium of the UN Security Council the day before: if North Korean troops enter Ukraine, they”will inevitably leave in body bags” warned Robert Wood, the alternate representative of the United States, “I would advise Chairman Kim to think twice before engaging in such reckless and dangerous behavior“.
“Disinformation” according to Moscow
Moscow has swept aside what it describes as “blatant lies“. “These statements regarding North Korean soldiers on our front are only there to distract attention from really important issues that threaten international peace and security“, says Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Security Council, Vassili Nebenzia. The latter evokes a “disinformation“relayed by the United States and its allies.”Russia’s interactions with North Korea in the military and other spheres are in accordance with international law and not in violation“, he adds, promising that there is “no reason“to present this”cooperation” as “a threat to anyone“.
On the front, the strikes continue, and caused three new victims on Wednesday in a residential building in Kharkiv according to the latest 20-minute report. Thirty other people were seriously injured.
