WASHINGTON — The United States is “concerned” by reports of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine, a White House spokesperson said Tuesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week accused North Korea of transferring personnel to Russia’s armed forces, saying his intelligence agencies had briefed him on “the actual involvement of North Korea in the war” in Ukraine. The Kremlin has dismissed the allegation as “fake news.
Moscow and Pyongyang have denied arms transfers but have vowed to strengthen military ties, possibly including joint drills. The U.S. Army’s Indo-Pacific commander, Gen. Charles Flynn, told an event in Washington that North Korean personnel being involved in the conflict would allow Pyongyang to get real-time feedback on its weapons, something that had not been possible in the past.
