Zelenskyy slams ‘zero’ Western response to North Korean troop deployment

KYIV: Ukraine’s Western allies have not adequately responded to the involvement of North Korean troops in Russia’s war with Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview released Thursday (Oct 31).
The comments came after the US and South Korean defence chiefs called on Pyongyang to withdraw its troops from Russia, warning that North Korean soldiers in Russian uniforms were being deployed for possible action against Ukrainian forces.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is “testing the reaction of the West, of NATO states and the reaction of South Korea,” the Ukrainian leader said in an interview with the South Korean television channel KBS.
