The possible deployment of North Korean soldiers in Ukraine worries international observers, as North Korea is officially said to be a party to the war. Videos from Moscow now suggest that such an advance may actually be imminent.
While the US and NATO confirm that North Korean soldiers in Russia are already preparing for a frontline operation, such cooperation between rulers Putin and Kim in Moscow can hardly be overlooked.
Cops stroll through Moscow
As seen in videos on several Telegram channels, North Korean officers apparently walked through Moscow. They stood very close to people and posed for photos and selfies with residents on Red Square – and were very popular.
South Korea: “We cannot stand idly by”
Internationally, people are more than worried about this. South Korea only said on Wednesday that it “will not sit idle” if North Korea intervenes in the conflict, the Kyiv Post quoted South Korean President Yoon Seok-Yeol as saying. According to South Korean intelligence, North Korea has already sent 3,000 soldiers to Russia, likely to be deployed in the war against Ukraine. The secret service assumes that North Korea will send a total of 10,000 soldiers to Russia in December.
“If these troops are destined to fight in Ukraine, this would mark a significant escalation of North Korea’s support for Russia’s illegal war,” NATO spokeswoman Farah Dakhlallah said in Brussels on Wednesday. The North Atlantic Council will discuss a response soon, she said.
Pentagon: “Very, very serious problem”
Almost identically, the Pentagon chief said: “If they want to enter this war on behalf of Russia, then that is a very, very serious problem.” This would have an impact not only in Europe, but also on the situation in the Indo-Pacific, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned, without providing further details.
“If the reports about North Korean soldiers in #Ukraine are true and #North Korea supports the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine with troops, this would be serious and a violation of #international law,” the German Foreign Ministry wrote. platform
Any state would then be allowed to attack North Korea
“By sending its own soldiers, North Korea becomes a warring party. Even if they are under Russian command,” international law expert Ralph Janik made clear on X (formerly Twitter). This means that, under international law, any other state can now fight North Korea if Ukraine requests it.
