About 3,800 servicemen from North Korea have been killed or wounded in the war with Ukraine.
This was reported by Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Lex Fridman’s podcast.
"North Korea. 12,000 arrived (on the territory of the Russian Federation to participate in the war - ed.). As of today, 3,800 of them have been killed or wounded. They can bring another 30-40 thousand, or even 500. They can bring many people because they have an autocracy," Zelenskyy said.
At the same time, according to him, Europe will not be able to "assemble an army of 2-3 million people."
"We do not have the goal to gather everyone - we do not want war. We want to stop the Russians. And they are inviting soldiers from North Korea. They burn their faces, wounded or dead," the president explained.
He noted that the largest army in Europe belongs to the Ukrainian army, which numbers 980,000 people, and in second place is France with an army four times smaller - about 200,000 people.
