NATO chief says North Korean troops have been deployed in Kursk
Several North Korea n troops are already fighting inside Ukraine , officials warned — as the Pentagon confirmed that Pyongyang’s troops are being sent to Kursk wearing Russia n uniforms and weapons.
Russia has faced an embarrassing setback in the region after Ukraine launched a surprise counter-invasion earlier this year, seizing dozens of villages and destroying the Kremlin’s infrastructure. Ukrainian officials said their intelligence department has already intercepted messages from Russian troops complaining about what to do with Pyongyang’s troops given the language barrier and relatively short training stint, according to CNN.Along with concerns about the additional manpower, Western officials are also worried about what Putin could be offering North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in return for the soldiers and delivery of thousands of weapons and military equipment.
The threat has prompted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to suggest his nation may change its arms policy and be open to providing military aid to Ukraine.
