Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that Russia was preparing to station more North Korean troops on its territory and had received more ballistic missiles from Pyongyang.

Zelenskyy has repeatedly warned of deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang, often while appealing for more Western air-defence supplies.

"This is the first time they cannot wage war without supplements from North Korea," he said in his nightly address, referring to Russian forces.
