North Korea joined Russia in its war against Ukraine, Zelenskyy says

Ekwutos BlogNorth Korea is supplying Russia not only with weapons but also with people, including those employed in Russian factories, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, urging Ukraine’s partners to increase their support.
And with reports of North Korean boots on the ground, in fact, Pyongyang has actually entered the war against Ukraine.
“In the coalition of criminals alongside Putin, North Korea is already involved, specifically the Kim family, which enslaves over 20 million people in North Korea,” Zelenskyy stated, addressing the Parliament in Kyiv on Wednesday.
“Our intelligence has observed not only the transfer of weapons from North Korea to Russia but also the transfer of individuals. These individuals are workers sent to Russian factories to replace those killed in the war, as well as personnel for the Russian army.”
And it’s not just Pyongyang, it’s also Tehran, according to Zelenskyy.
“Everyone sees its regime’s support for Putin,” he said.
Why would Russia need North Korean soldiers, and where?
Ukrainian outlet The Kyiv Independent, citing Western sources, reported that North Korea has sent 10,000 soldiers to Russia to boost its war efforts against Ukraine.
Furthermore, the Russian 11th Airborne Brigade is forming a 3,000-person “battalion” staffed with North Korean citizens, according to Ukrainian outlets Suspilne and Liga, citing anonymous military intelligence sources.
Where could they be deployed?
Ukrainian intelligence sources assessed that this “battalion” will likely be involved in ongoing Russian defensive operations in the Kursk region.
Earlier, the Ukrainian partisan movement claimed that it had identified the presence of North Korean military personnel in training areas located close to Mariupol.
Euronews could not independently verify these claims.
The US-based ISW think tank says it has recently observed reports that a small contingent of North Korean personnel was operating near occupied Donetsk City.
The Kremlin is likely leveraging the Russia-North Korea comprehensive strategic partnership agreement made in June, in part to offset Russian force generation and border security requirements, according to the ISW.
This might help further cement Russian President Vladimir Putin’s commitment to avoiding mobilisation for as long as possible.
“Putin appears more willing to absorb North Korean personnel into the Russian military and resort to other irregular force generation efforts than to call for a wider mobilisation to actually address the combat situation,” ISW added.

She equally said that she will suggest getting pregnant by another man if the fault is from her husband and if he refuses, then the marriage is over.
Ngozi, who stated this in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said if one truly loves a spouse, he or she would want them to have a child even if it’s from another man or woman.
“10 yrs of marriage and no child…Medically certified the fault is from me, I will marry a woman for my husband or support him to marry another and then adopt a child of my own!!,” she wrote.

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to launch an investigation into the tragic death of 30-year-old Cynthia Oguzie, who was reportedly killed when an overhead water tank collapsed onto her apartment in the Lekki area of the state.
The spokesperson for the Lagos State Safety Commission, Adewunmi Okoh, confirmed the development to PUNCH Metro on Wednesday during an interview about the heartbreaking incident.
Ekwutosblog reported on Wednesday that a short video viewed by our correspondent showed the victim lying motionless on her bed. However, a woman in the background could be heard insisting that she was still alive.
Another video captured the collapsed water tank and the wreckage of the building, while additional photos showed Cynthia Oguzie’s lifeless body in what appeared to be a hospital setting.
Oguzie had reportedly moved into the Lekki apartment just two months before the tragic incident.
A Facebook user who identified himself as the victim’s brother, Chukwuebuka Nathaniel, shared details of the incident on his page, blaming the tragedy on substandard construction.
“Beware of Lekki buildings and their water stands,” he wrote.
“This is how they sent my sister to her early grave. Thank you, so-called Lekki landlord, and your engineer, for doing this type of water stand,” he added.
Reacting to the incident, Mrs Okoh told our correspondent that the commission’s investigative team was prepared to be deployed to the scene to conduct a thorough investigation.
To facilitate the process, she urged the deceased’s brother to provide the exact address of the building, noting that it would help the commission trace those responsible for the tragic incident.
“We need details of the incident. We will escalate the matter to the DG. And the officers in charge will take the matter over. They will investigate the incident,” Okoh informed Ekwutosblog.
The commission, which was established to uphold public safety, has investigated several similar incidents in the past, including the case of a young man who died after jumping into a melting pot and has issued sanctions upon the completion of such probes.
Meanwhile, efforts by our correspondent to reach the bereaved brother, Nathaniel, were unsuccessful, as calls and messages sent to him on Facebook had not been responded to as of the time this report was filed.

Public Procurement is a strategic enabler of national development, which contributes to economic growth through transparency, accountability, and efficient management of public resources.
The Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement, Dr. Adebowale A. Adedokun, MCIPS, ACFE, stated this at the opening ceremony of the Procurement Clinic for all Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), at the UBEC Digital Resource Centre Abuja, on the Principles of procurement planning, Records keeping and E-Advertisement; A 2-day workshop for procurement officers, organized by the Bureau of Public Procurement to improve public procurement practices in Nigeria and ensure its alignment with international best standards.
Dr. Adebowale, in his remarks, appreciated His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for the opportunity given to the Bureau to carry out this scheme of procurement training. He acknowledged the management team as well as the organizers for their painstaking efforts to see that the program is well organized.
The DG reiterated the mandate of BPP under section 5 (k) of the Public Procurement Act (PPA) 2007, tasked with organizing training and development programs for procurement professionals.
Adding that, the essence of the training is designed to empower procurement officers with the necessary skills and knowledge to discharge their duties effectively. It is a platform for learning, collaboration, and reform.
He emphasized on the principles of procurement planning, which ensures that procurement activities are strategically aligned with organizational goals and, by extension, Mr. President’s “Renewed Hope Agenda”. Pointing out the need for proper documentation; the use of E-Advertisement Module for leveraging technology to enhance competition, transparency and access to public procurement opportunities; the use of Nigeria Open Contracting Portal (NOCOPO) for uploading procurement information and the efficient use of the New Revised Standard Bidding Document.
The DG reminded the participants and all procurement officers that Procurement in Nigeria has taken a paradigm shift, as transactional procurement is no longer viable, and BPP would not condone any infraction against this policy. BPP is strengthening its relationship with some of the Anti-Graft Agencies like ICPC, EFCC, NEITI, Code of Conduct Bureau, and NFIU through effective corruption free mechanisms
Therefore, all procurement practitioners should play a pivotal role in procurement processes to ensure that public funds are utilized effectively to deliver impactful services to the citizens. He encouraged everyone to use this golden opportunity to explore innovative ideas that will strengthen our collective resolves in upholding the principles of transparency, accountability, and professionalism.
