Estonia is open to discussing the deployment of Western troops, including Estonian troops, to Ukraine. This is not a red line for them, and they hope for a unified stance from NATO or the European Union. Estonian leaders, particularly from the Ministry of Defense, are engaged in these discussions and believe that nothing is impossible, Estonian ambassador to Ukraine Annely Kolk said. https://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/posol-estoniyi-anneli-kolk-vazhliva-lishe-1718770964.html

During Putin's visit to North Korea, Kim Jong-un expressed "full support" for Russian aggression in Ukraine. Kim praised Russia's role in maintaining global strategic stability and expressed solidarity with Russia's government, army, and people in their 'military operations' in Ukraine, citing the protection of sovereignty, security interests, and territorial integrity.
