In a speech marking 1,000 days of war in Ukraine, the country's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has told the European parliament that Russia has brought in 11,000 North Korean troops to Ukraine’s borders, and that 'this contingent may grow to 100,000', appearing to endorse a Bloomberg report citing unnamed sources.

Speaking by video link, the Ukrainian president also appeared to make a dig at the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, who recently called a snap election and has long frustrated Kyiv with his country's slow pace of military support and its refusal to supply German-made long-range Taurus missiles.
'While some European leaders think about some elections or something like this at Ukraine's expense … Putin is focused on winning this war. He will not stop on his own. The more time he has, the worse the conditions become,' Zelenskyy said.
