Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the United States has raised concerns over the reported deployment of ten thousand North Korean soldiers on Russian soil. These troops are said to be stationed in the Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a counter-invasion nearly three months ago. The intensity of the fighting in this region has been heightened, and experts suggest that the addition of North Korean troops could potentially shift the dynamics of the conflict.
The move to bring in North Korean soldiers raises questions about the state of Russia’s military capabilities. Is this a sign of Vladimir Putin’s reach for support in the face of a military stretched to its breaking point? Or is it a strategy showcasing Russian strength as it builds new alliances?
The Inside Story video titled, “How significant is North Korea’s support for Russia?” delves into these questions with guest experts Graham Ong-Webb, a fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Pavel Felgenhauer, a military analyst, and political commentator, and Craig Mark, an adjunct lecturer at Hosei University in Tokyo.
The support pledged by North Korea for Moscow comes at a crucial time as the Kremlin struggles to attract new recruits amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The alliance between North Korea and Russia may have significant implications for the region and beyond.
As tensions escalate and alliances shift in Eastern Europe, the role of North Korean troops in supporting Russia could potentially have far-reaching consequences. The geopolitical landscape is evolving rapidly, and it remains to be seen how this development will impact the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and relations between the key players involved.

I'm more concerned with the U.S. TROOPS IN ISRAEL. 1 killed = manufactured consent for casus belli. Israel will assure a hit to get the U.S. to fight Iran. It's a very likely scenario with far graver implications.
America and Europeans are just looking for who to blame for Ukraine losing the war. Because they know that Ukraine as lost the war already
If the reaction of the USA 🇺🇸 and EU and all their allies reactions couldn't stop Russia 🇷🇺, why should you worry about small south korea 🇰🇷 reaction.
Already, Russia is the world most powerful military power in the current world. NATO, G7, and Ukraine too behind to reach the military mighty of Russia. N Korea Alliance with Russia will make the balance world.
Almost 50 countries have ganged up against Russia in Ukraine and yet the West can not stomach one country helping Russia. What a bunch of selfish cowards.
1:30 Blinken
North Korea's support for Russia's right to defend itself is unwavering and iron clad.

Its actually embarrassing for Putin as it shows Russia is not capable of carrying out a major war exercise on its own.
So russia really need nk to win Ukraine.unbelievable
What a stupid discussion, tailored for retards.
NK and Russia are ALLIES —- Duh!
This development is not as simple as it looks 🤨
These days aljazeera you are more western sided on this conflict taking everything the west says @ face value embarrassing
Them nation of nato is so scared of north Korea troops going to Russia. This is world 🌎 war 3.usa not hoping for peace.
They make agreement
Jesus what's the problem with that, no different than Canada doing military exercises with the US. I'm starting to believe we are lead by a bunch of goons – their comments are so very stupid I can't believe they actually believe their rhetoric (and the media lending voice to such absurdities with no critical analysis for the major part !). For the past 2-3 years, sounds as if the leaders of the Western world suffer from schizophrenia !
They are to be based in Russia. That’s nobody else’s business other than Russia and N. Korea.
