Ukraine does not intend to initiate sending a military contingent of partner countries to the front after information emerged about the participation of North Korean servicemen in the war on the side of the Russian Federation, since this is dangerous and risky for the support it already has, says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"I know how skeptical everyone is about this and very cautious, and we have never promoted this idea and never talked about it in detail. I mean, it is very, very dangerous when there is no such decision from the leaders and from the public," Zelenskyy told Nordic media on Wednesday.

He stressed that "it is very dangerous to raise this issue, because one can lose all other support."

"That's why we can never mention it. It can't just be our public will, because otherwise it could destroy all the other support, and we can't risk losing the support we already have," Zelenskyy said.
