Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov says that the Ukrainian side has provided NATO allies with evidence of the preparation of DPRK citizens for participation in Russia's war against Ukraine.

He announced this to Ukrainian journalists at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Friday. The Minister of Defense took part in a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, which took place on Thursday as part of a meeting of defense ministers of the alliance member countries.

"We provided evidence to the allies. We told them that we already have evidence. We exchanged opinions and asked the intelligence services to exchange information," Umerov said.
