(Reuters) - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said he had discussed the "need for decisive action" in response to North Korean involvement in the war in Ukraine with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock.
"We urge Europe to realize that the DPRK troops are now carrying an aggressive war in Europe against a sovereign European state," he told a briefing after meeting with Baerbock in Kyiv.
The United States says North Korea has sent thousands of troops to Russia and is poised to join the war in Ukraine on Moscow's side. Russia has neither confirmed nor denied their presence.
