The decision by North Korea to send troops to Russia for combat training against Ukraine has raised alarm worldwide, with members of the United Nations Security Council expressing deep concern. South Korea’s spy agency reported that 1,500 special forces troops have been sent to Russia, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleging that up to 10,000 soldiers could be on their way as well.
The move has been described as dangerous and concerning by deputy U.S. ambassador to the UN Robert Wood, who highlighted the implications of such a dramatic development. Russia has been accused of aiding North Korea in its aggression, although both countries have denied any arms transfers. Despite this denial, they have pledged to strengthen their military ties, with the Kremlin referring to North Korea as a close neighbor and partner.
South Korea has strongly condemned North Korea’s actions, calling it a violation of UN resolutions. The defence ministry has vowed to take all necessary measures to safeguard the safety of its people in light of North Korea’s involvement. The situation remains tense as the international community closely monitors the escalating military relationship between North Korea, Russia, and Ukraine.
