Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia "cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea" in Ukraine

On Monday night Ukraine and Russia exchanged artillery and missile attacks, with the Ukrainian leader saying Moscow is relying on weapons supplied by North Korea. He cited a recent strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia that killed at least six civilians and wounded many more, which he attributed to ballistic missiles from the Asian state. The same day Ukrainian forces hit a logistics centre of the Russian e‑commerce company Wildberries in the Voronezh region, while a previous drone raid on Russia’s Tatarstan republic had caused over a dozen deaths, including a child. Zelensky also highlighted a Ukrainian air raid on a petrochemical facility in western Siberia, calling it a notable success and pledging further deep‑penetration operations to pressure Russia toward negotiations.
