Ukraine can't enforce it, NATO won't enforce it.

In any case these sort of drone's randomly killing/injuring civilians are very difficult to detect and destroy.

Main difference is one is a set of manoeuvres that are set in stone like any animation is. The impressive bit is keeping them in place with wind etc.

AI controlled drone swarms are another matter where it’s not going to be a set animation and flowing movement where they have to keep track of everting in including there swarm “mates” so all in mass avoidance mode while also hinting a target.

It’s very impressive tech.

The way AI is advancing mate it won’t be far off, if they can do it in packages of 20 at a time over a battle it would be terrifying

President Zelenskyy gave an interview to South Korean TV channel KBS.Here are some quotes/points from his interview:

President Zelenskyy stated that the exchange of information is very important, so it's time for the intelligence agencies of both countries to cooperate. "If South Korea wants to know North Korea's true capabilities, if it wants to confirm the real value of North Korean soldiers, it will be helpful for South Korea to access information from here."

According to the President, "About 3,000 North Korean soldiers are in training facilities, and we assess that the total will soon reach 12,000." He believes they will be engaged in battle with Ukrainian forces within days. Now, Zelenskyy says, "They are preparing to be deployed for battle."

Asked what Ukraine would do with captured North Koreans, Zelenskyy said, "We are ready to exchange North Korean troops for Ukrainians." That is, they would not be sent back to North Korea

.

Ukraine will consider bringing Kim Jong-un to the International Criminal Court if North Korean troops use military force against Ukrainian citizens, the President said. "We will make a decision (on whether to file claims) after North Korean troops use military force against Ukrainian citizens. But if South Korea supports our actions, we believe we are ready to take countermeasures together with our allies

."

Also, Zelenskyy stated that Russia has received some 3,5 million artillery shells from North Korea, as well as missiles. "In addition, North Korea will also send a considerable number of civilians to work in specific munitions factories in the Russian Federation," he said
