Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday called for a “strong reaction” from allied partners after what he said was “clear evidence” that North Korea is supplying troops to Russia to be deployed in the ongoing war against his country.

In a video address on Oct. 20, Zelenskyy said satellite and video evidence showed that North Korea had not only supplied weapons to Russia but also dispatched military personnel to the country.
