North Korea sending more ballistic missiles, troops to Russia as Ukraine's drones fly farther, Zelensky says
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Aug. 10 that Russia has received additional ballistic missiles and North Korean troops, preparing for more arrivals. This marks Russia's growing dependence on North Korea due to Ukrainian long-range strikes that now threaten Russia's strategic rear. Zelensky warned this alliance poses a global security threat, as North Korea improves its defense capabilities alongside Russian forces.
Russia plans to host more North Korean troops, and North Korean missile units are positioned in Russia, with potential to reach Ukraine and other neighboring countries.
