[for North Koreans] to communicate with commanders and drone operators, because no one will understand them anyway." Article continues below Zelensky has since claimed the North Korean

top brass has "no interest" in the survival of their own military in Russia. He said: "We can see that the Russian military and the North Korean enforcers have no interest in

the survival of these Koreans at all. Everything is arranged in a way that makes it impossible for us to capture the Koreans as prisoners. "Their own people are executing them, there

are such cases. And the Russians send them into assaults with minimal protection. Today we received reports on several soldiers from North Korea, our warriors managed to capture them. But

they were seriously wounded and could not be resuscitated. This is one of the manifestations of the madness dictatorships are capable of. "The Korean nation should not lose its people

in the battles in Europe. And this can be influenced, particularly by Korea's neighbours, especially China. If China is sincere in its statements that the war should not escalate, it

must exert appropriate pressure on Pyongyang." Article continues below His claims of a lack of care in the North Korean military comes as Zelensky confirmed a strike on the kamikaze

drones factory on December 26. The strike was on a facility between the villages of Tsimbulova and Rudnevo in the Oryol region. A statement released by the Ukrainian military revealed:

"As a result of the strike, a storage, maintenance, and repair facility for kamikaze drones Shahed, consisting of several reinforced concrete shelters, was destroyed. This combat

operation significantly reduced the enemy's ability to carry out airstrikes using kamikaze drones on civilian infrastructure facilities in Ukraine." ASTRA media has since reported

three Storm Shadow missiles were deployed by Ukraine for the strike. Storm Shadow missiles are supplied to Kyiv by Britain. The strike is said to have killed two Russian servicemen and

injured seven more. President Putin has vowed to respond to strikes inside Russian territory, with this barrage at least 280 miles inside Russian territory.
