  "account": "On August 10, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Russia has acquired additional ballistic missiles from North Korea and is poised to deploy more North Korean troops on its soil. In his address, Zelenskyy highlighted that this marks the first time in Russian history that the country lacks a secure rear, rendering it unable to wage war without assistance from North Korea. He emphasized that Russia is receiving further ballistic weapons from North Korea, signaling that the international community must grasp the implications of this development. Furthermore, Zelenskyy cautioned that the utilization of North Korean weapons, including ballistic missiles, in Ukraine would facilitate their refinement for combat purposes. He warned of the escalating danger this poses to Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and other countries in the region, as North Korean strikes, soldiers, and munitions become more proficient. Ukraine is reportedly collaborating with allies to bolster air defenses and dissuade North Korea's involvement in the conflict within Ukrainian territory. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha had previously stated that any deployment of North Korean missile troops onto Russian territory would be deemed a legitimate military objective.",
