The French minister noted that the decision to involve DPRK soldiers in the war against Ukraine on the side of Russia would have serious consequences. He explained that this leads to new levels of escalation. This is a risk that the war will spread to Asia.

Note that the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that we are talking about a huge threat of further escalation of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

A big threat of its scaling and going beyond the current borders and boundaries.

He stated that this is a new reality. Therefore, Ukraine appeals to partners and calls for a tough response to this fact and to prevent this.
