NORTH KOREA DEPLOYS TROOPS TO SUPPORT RUSSIA IN ONGOING WAR WITH UKRAINE
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram


In a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, North Korea has deployed troops to assist Russia in its ongoing war with Ukraine. This development was confirmed by South Korea’s intelligence agency, which confirmed that over 500 North Korean soldiers have arrived in the region, with an estimated 12,000 additional troops to be deployed soon. The Republic of South Korea has responded to this latest development by issuing warnings on what it describes as a “grave security threat.”


Ukraine’s intelligence chief, Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, while reacting to this latest development confirmed that approximately 11,000 North Korean infantry troops are currently receiving training in eastern Russia, preparing waiting to engage in the ongoing war with Ukraine. “They will be ready to fight in Ukraine by November 1,” Budanov asserted during an interview with The Warzone website. This preparation raises serious concerns about the potential escalation of hostilities in an already tense war environment.


Budanov insisted that these North Korean soldiers are set to be armed with Russian weapons and ammunition. The first group of 2,600 troops is expected to be stationed in Russia’s western Kursk region, an area of strategic importance that Ukraine has successfully secured following its incursion in August. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also highlighted the gravity of the situation, revealing an intelligence report that uncovers a substantial increase in North Korean involvement in the ongoing conflict. This revelation calls for an urgent need for international attention and intervention, as the implications of such foreign troop deployments could have far-reaching consequences for the region and beyond.


In response to these developments, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol convened an emergency meeting to address the escalating situation. During this meeting, he called upon the international community to take immediate and decisive action in light of the emerging threat posed by North Korean military support to Russia. The cooperation between North Korea and Russia has been growing, as North Korea has also been supplying ammunition to bolster Russian forces in the conflict.


The relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang has intensified recently, particularly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s increasingly close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This burgeoning alliance was further illustrated by Kim’s recent birthday message to Putin, in which he referred to the Russian leader as his “closest comrade.” Such expressions of camaraderie signal a deepening relationship that could complicate global responses to the ongoing war in Ukraine and create new challenges for international diplomacy.


The deployment of North Korean troops represents a pivotal moment in the conflict, marking a new chapter characterized by heightened military collaboration between these two nations. The introduction of foreign troops into the Ukrainian theater not only escalates the risk of direct confrontation but also raises concerns about the strategic calculations of other countries involved in the conflict, as they must now contend with the added variable of North Korean military presence.
