President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Japan's NHK that China provides Russia with
technologies, machinery, and likely specialists, despite no direct weapons, and
fails to leverage its influence amid sanctions to push for peace.
He questioned if China's alignment with Moscow counts as support, while revealing North Korea sent 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers for real combat training in Russia, posing risks to Pacific security.
Zelenskyy also voiced interest in stronger defense ties with Japan, including drones, as reports of North Korean aid to Russia fuel wider concerns.
