The U.S. has confirmed that Pyongyang had sent troops to fight for Russia against Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin has been dealt a blow by two of his closest allies who have failed to endorse the sending of North Korean troops to fight for Russian forces against Ukraine.Experts are also casting doubt on the strategic worth of such a move by the Russian leader.The U.S. confirmed on Wednesday it had evidence Pyongyang had deployed soldiers to Russia following reports from South Korea and Ukraine, which said the secretive state was planning to involve thousands of troops in the war.
As Russian forces face high casualties, Putin has increasingly relied on North Korean artillery shells and other ammunition. But Kyiv's Defense Intelligence Directorate said this help is extending to manpower with around 11,000 North Korean infantry troops who are training in Russia's Far East and will be ready to fight by November 1.The first group of North Korean troops have been sent to the Russian region of Kursk where some have tried to desert, according to reports.
