North Korean Troops in Russia Alarm Global Leaders

North Korea's Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui visited Moscow to discuss strategic matters with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov amidst concerns over North Korean military involvement in the Ukraine conflict. Reports indicate that approximately 10,000 North Korean troops are in Russia, with many already deployed or soon to be deployed near the Ukrainian front lines, particularly in the Kursk region. This development has sparked international concern, with U.S. President Joe Biden labeling the potential deployment as 'very dangerous,' while South Korea has deemed it 'illegal' and a threat to global security. Western intelligence and South Korean sources confirm the presence of North Korean troops in combat zones, and NATO has expressed alarm over the military alliance strengthening between Russia and North Korea. The situation is escalating as Ukrainian forces prepare for intensified warfare during the upcoming winter months. This strategic military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow is seen as a significant shift, further complicating the geopolitical landscape of the ongoing conflict.
