During a recent joint press conference with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and their South Korean counterparts, Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the recent long-range missile test conducted by North Korea. In his statement, Secretary Blinken also confirmed that approximately 10,000 North Korean soldiers were currently receiving training in Russia.
This revelation raises concerns about the cooperation between North Korea and Russia, especially in regards to military training. The presence of such a large number of North Korean soldiers in Russia could potentially have significant implications for regional security and stability.
The relationship between North Korea and Russia has long been complex, with both countries sharing common interests in countering Western influence and expanding their own spheres of influence. The training of North Korean soldiers in Russia adds another layer of complexity to this relationship, raising questions about the extent of the cooperation between the two countries and the potential implications for the region.
As tensions continue to simmer on the Korean Peninsula, the revelation of North Korean soldiers receiving training in Russia serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in dealing with the reclusive regime in Pyongyang. It also highlights the need for continued vigilance and diplomatic efforts to address the evolving security situation in the region.
