Data from the FSB shows over 3,000 North Koreans entered Russia in the third quarter of 2024.
North Koreans have been flooding into Russia, data from the Russian Federal Security Service revealed, amid reports of North Korean soldiers joining Russia's war against Ukraine.Earlier this week, it was confirmed by the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation that Ukrainian forces had engaged with North Korean soldiers for the first time. Ukrainian military intelligence reported that 12,000 soldiers, 500 officers and three generals from North Korea had been deployed to Russia.
North Korea has not denied the claims. Instead, Pyongyang said any North Korean troops sent to Russia would be in line with international law.'If there is such a thing that the world media is talking about, I think it will be an act conforming with the regulations of international law. There will evidently exist forces which want to describe it as illegal one, I think,' North Korea's vice foreign minister, Kim Jong Gyu, previously said in statement.
