The United States is concerned about information about how soldiers from North Korea were sent to Russia to participate in the war against Ukraine. But, at the same time, such a step indicates Moscow’s desperation.
According to Savett, if the evidence of direct participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine is confirmed, this will indicate a significant expansion of the defense relationship between North Korea and Russia.
“The move also shows a new level of desperation for Russia, which continues to suffer heavy battlefield losses in its brutal war against Ukraine,” he said.
North Korea could send troops
Remember, on October 13, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that the alliance between Russia and North Korea is strengthening. And now we are talking not only about the movement of weapons, but also about “the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupying military forces”.
Also yesterday, October 14, according to the head of state of Ukraine, the Central Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service reported to him at the Headquarters. In particular, the question of “actually involving the DPRK in the war”..
As military expert Alexey Getman suggested in a comment to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel, North Korea can send between 10 and 100 thousand soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
It is worth noting that back on October 5, RBC-Ukraine sources reported that during the attack, Ukrainian defenders North Korean officers were killed along with the attackers in the Donetsk region. However, as the interlocutors of the publication clarified, the DPRK soldiers arrived there to “exchange experiences” and not to participate in the war.
