젤렌스키 "북한군 6천명씩 2개 여단 훈련 중"
North Korea is preparing two brigades of 6,000 soldiers each, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says, while the U.S. claims it's still analyzing reports of North Korean troop deployment to Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says military intelligence has information pointing to North Korea forming two brigades of North Korean soldiers, with each unit consisting of 6-thousand troops.
The Ukrainian leader added that while the troop deployment poses a challenge for Ukraine, its military knows "how to respond to it," stressing that it's crucial that its allies "do not shy away" from the recent developments.
Zelenskyy went on to express his gratitude to all the countries that have condemned Pyongyang for its military support for Russia, emphasizing that the world is interested in ending the war and not prolonging it.
He further called on the international community to stop Russia and who he called "its accomplices."
Meanwhile, Washington says the process is still underway to verify reports of North Korea's deployment of troops.
According to the U.S. State Department's deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel, the U.S. has "its own processes in place" and its own assessments that it needs to make before making any public comments.
He stressed that the lack of confirmation on Seoul's intel regarding the North Korean troop deployment is not a reflection of its lack of confidence.
When asked if any discussions are taking place over what measures would be taken in response to Pyongyang's troop deployment, Patel did not comment.
However, the spokesperson stressed that if the reports are true, the regime's troop support for Russia would be "incredibly dangerous."
