Selenskyj Urges Action as North Korean Troops Approach Ukraine

Ukrainian President calls for Western allies to provide long-range weapons to counter North Korean soldiers aiding Russia.

Up to 8,000 North Korean soldiers have been reported near the Ukrainian border in the Russian region of Kursk, according to U.S. sources.
North Korean troops are reportedly wearing Russian uniforms, complicating their identification and engagement by Ukrainian forces.
President Selenskyj criticizes the lack of long-range weapons from Western allies, hindering Ukraine's ability to preemptively strike these forces.
The U.S. has announced an additional $425 million in military aid to Ukraine, though Selenskyj claims only a fraction of pledged support has been received.
The presence of North Korean soldiers marks a significant escalation, with potential implications for international involvement in the conflict.
