North Korea Deploys 10,000 Troops to Russia

News summary

Reports indicate that over 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed to Russia, with many already stationed in the Kursk region, potentially preparing to engage in combat against Ukraine. Both South Korean and U.S. officials confirm the troop presence, with estimates suggesting numbers could be as high as 12,000, including senior military personnel. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern over the lack of a robust response from Western allies regarding this escalation, arguing that North Korean forces pose a significant threat. The ratification of a military assistance treaty between Russia and North Korea further solidifies their partnership and complicates the conflict dynamics. Analysts warn that this could mark the first large-scale involvement of North Korean troops in a foreign conflict since the Korean War. The situation remains fluid, with Ukrainian forces prepared to target these North Korean troops should they engage in combat.
