Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has indicated that North Korea may send up to 50,000 soldiers to assist Russia, underscoring an intensifying military collaboration between Pyongyang and Moscow. While details surrounding the source remain undisclosed, this prospective deployment highlights a deepening alliance that could significantly impact the ongoing conflict.
