The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that everyone is simply waiting for North Korean military forces to launch attacks on Ukrainians. He made this remark during his evening video address.
The head of state emphasized that Ukraine could strike preemptively at all locations where the Russian Federation is gathering soldiers from North Korea, if there were the capability for long-range strikes.
"We could strike preemptively if we had that capability - to strike sufficiently far. And this depends on our partners. But instead of providing the necessary long-range capability, America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching. Everyone is just waiting for North Korean military forces to start attacking Ukrainians," he said.
According to him, everyone in the world who truly wants this war of Russia against Ukraine not to escalate and for the war in Europe not to spread to other regions of the world - everyone must do more than just observe. He added:
"Action is necessary. The rhetoric about the unacceptability of escalation and the expansion of the war must be matched with actions."
