Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated, "The first battles with North Korean soldiers open a new page of instability in the world... we must do everything to make this Russian step... a failure."
Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov explained, "The clashes were small scale... North Korean troops were not fighting as separate formations but were embedded in Russian units disguised as Buryats."
Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskii noted, "There are not enough Russian troops in this direction, so they are trying to attract military from North Korea there."
Military intelligence reported that Russia transferred more than 7,000 North Korean troops to Ukraine's borders on 28 Russian aircraft, heavily armed for potential conflict.
