Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once again criticized North Korea's dispatch of troops in a post posted on social media on the night of the 26th local time.

He stressed that there is only one thing that is proven every day through this war, and that is Russia's willingness to continue the invasion.

He pointed out that this is why North Korea is increasingly involved in war,

North Korean troops join the battlefield in Ukraine in the coming days, saying Ukraine may soon have to fight North Korean forces in Europe.

Earlier, President Zelensky predicted that North Korean troops sent to Russia would be deployed to combat zones as early as the 27th to the 28th.

The U.S. daily New York Times also quoted Ukrainian and U.S. government officials as saying that North Korean troops are gathering one after another in Kursk, a battleground in mainland Russia.

In a related development, a high-ranking Ukrainian official said up to 5,000 North Korean troops are expected to gather by the 28th.

In the meantime, three photos were posted on a pro-Russian Telegram account sharing the situation of the war in Ukraine, saying it was a document made by Ukraine.

"Ukrainian forces have begun issuing guidelines in anticipation of the arrival of North Korean soldiers," the statement read.

After translating the Ukrainian phrase into Korean, the pronunciation is written side by side in the Kirill letter used in Ukraine.

In total, there were 60 expressions, including "Drop your weapons," "What's your mission," and "Are you hungry?"

The authenticity of the documents has not been confirmed, but media outlets including Russia's Renta, Vesti and Gazeta-Ru have also reported.
