As the war in Ukraine continues, countries involved in the conflict are facing significant losses.
One of these nations is North Korea, which has sent soldiers to support Russia.
The situation has been discussed recently by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During the 25th meeting of the Contact Group on Defense Issues of Ukraine, he shared that North Korea has already lost 4,000 soldiers in the ongoing war, according to Ukrinform.
Zelenskyy explained that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not only continuing his aggression but also increasing his efforts.
He mentioned that Russia has started hiring soldiers from North Korea to support their military actions.
Zelenskyy emphasized that North Korea is learning modern warfare tactics but doesn't seem to value its own soldiers.
The losses are significant, with 4,000 soldiers already killed in the conflict.
The Ukrainian president also pointed out that North Korea is gaining cheap experience in warfare.
This experience could eventually help them export war tactics to other countries. Zelenskyy’s comments were made during a major meeting that took place on January 9 at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
This meeting brought together key defense leaders, including US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Zelenskyy’s message at the meeting was clear. The war in Ukraine is not just a fight for Ukraine but also involves other nations’ support and interests.
With North Korea’s involvement, the situation is becoming even more complex.
The loss of 4,000 North Korean soldiers highlights the heavy toll this war is taking on all sides.
As the war continues, many countries, including Ukraine’s allies, are working together to find solutions and strategies to address the ongoing conflict.
The Contact Group meeting is an important step in coordinating defense efforts and supporting Ukraine.
