Zelenskyy said that according to reconnaissance data, North Korean officers are already in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and are training Russian soldiers.

"The exact number of officers is not known yet, but Russia is counting on reinforcements from the North Korea due to problems with mobilization," the Head of State noted.

The President added that Russia is losing many soldiers on the battlefield.

"He (Putin. — Ed.) knows that the mood in society is against mobilization, and is looking for external support," Zelenskyy said.

The President emphasized that he had discussed this issue with the United States and other partners, but had not yet provided details.
