The harder Putin finds it to recruit Russians to be cannon fodder, the more willing he is to rely on DPRK: UK statement at the UN Security Council
The UK has accused Russia of turning to North Korea for help in its war in Ukraine, as it struggles to recruit enough Russian soldiers to fight.
In a statement to the UN Security Council, UK Ambassador to the UN Barbara Woodward said that Russia is “increasingly relying on foreign fighters, including mercenaries from the Wagner Group and fighters from the DPRK”.
She said that this is a sign of Russia’s “desperation” and its “willingness to use any means necessary to achieve its goals in Ukraine”.
Woodward also said that Russia is continuing to commit war crimes in Ukraine, including the deliberate targeting of civilians and the use of torture.
She called on the Security Council to take action to hold Russia accountable for its actions and to support Ukraine in its fight for freedom.
The UK’s statement comes as Russia is facing increasing losses in Ukraine. According to Ukrainian estimates, Russia has lost over 100,000 soldiers since the start of the war.
Russia has also been accused of committing war crimes in Ukraine, including the deliberate targeting of civilians and the use of torture.
The UK’s statement is the latest in a series of warnings from Western officials about Russia’s increasing reliance on foreign fighters.
In April, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Russia was “actively recruiting fighters” from Syria and Libya.
The Wagner Group is a private military company that has been linked to the Russian government. It has been accused of committing war crimes in Ukraine, including the torture and execution of civilians.
The DPRK is North Korea’s official name. North Korea has been accused of providing weapons and other support to Russia in its war in Ukraine.
The UK’s statement is a sign of the growing international concern about Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The Security Council has already passed a resolution condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. However, Russia has vetoed all further action by the Council.
