It would be a “major mistake” to deploy a peacekeeping force in Ukraine including British troops without the help of American soldiers, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

In the areas of the Kursk operation, new assaults have taken place,” Zelenskyy said during his Friday address, adding, “Russia has once again deployed North Korean soldiers alongside its troops.”

Before advancing 2.5 kilometers, our forces hit their command post, killing a large number of officers. I was told that 20 officers died, including senior North Korean and Russian officers,” Zelenskyy stated.
