The head of the administration of the Ukrainian president said today that sanctions will not be a sufficient response to North Korea's intervention in Russia's war in Ukraine and called for arms supplies, writes BTA.
„North Korean soldiers are already in the Kursk region… This is an escalation. Sanctions alone are not enough. We need weapons and a clear plan to prevent the expansion of North Korea's participation in the war in Europe, Andriy Yermak wrote on the X social network.
Today, Russia brings in North Korea; next, it could broaden their engagement, and then other autocratic regimes may see that they can get away with this and come to fight against NATO.
The enemy understands strength. Our allies have this strength.— Andriy Yermak (@AndriyYermak) October 28, 2024
He added that Ukraine's allies must respond firmly because “enemies only understand force”.
