NATO has confirmed the presence of North Korean troops in Russia, sparking concerns over what it means for the war in Ukraine.
North Korea sends troops to Russia to join war in Ukraine as NATO and White House issue warnings following 'dangerous' development
Ukraine's military intelligence service last week claimed as many as 12,000 North Korean troops had been deployed and were training in Russia's Kursk region on five military bases. “The deepening military co-operation between Russia and North Korea is a threat to both the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security," Mr Rutte said."Over 600,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in Putin’s war and he is unable to sustain his assault on Ukraine without foreign support."
"If we see DPRK troops moving in towards the front lines, they are co-belligerents in the war. This is a calculation that North Korea has to make," Ms Singh said. The move presents another sign of the strong relationship between North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
