North Korea is preparing to deploy armed forces to Ukraine in support of Russia, South Korea’s defense chief says.
North Korea is likely to deploy troops to the battlefields in Ukraine, according to South Korea’s defense chief, as Pyongyang ramps up its support for Russia while taking further measures to distance itself from any form of possible rapprochement with Seoul.
The possibility of deployment is highly likely given that Russia and North Korea have signed a mutual treaty akin to a military alliance, Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun told lawmakers during a parliamentary audit session on Tuesday, according to Yonhap News. The report didn’t provide specific details of the possible size or timing of any deployment.
