In a grave warning to the international community, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised the alarm over a burgeoning military alliance between Russia and North Korea, which he fears could exacerbate the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Zelenskyy's appeal comes amid reports of military personnel allegedly being supplied from North Korea to Russia.

Addressing global leaders on social media, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to those condemning the partnership but cautioned about the implications of North Korea's involvement. "A new threat has emerged," Zelenskyy stated, referencing North Korea's weapon supplies and military assistance to Russia in an escalating situation.

With tensions increasing, Zelenskyy urged for a collaborative international response to counter what he describes as an evil alliance. Reports from South Korea's National Intelligence Service indicate that North Korea has deployed 1,500 soldiers to Russia, marking its first military involvement, escalating fears of an extended conflict.
