Russia-North Korea Ties

US claims 8,000 North Korean troops at Ukraine border ready for combat

The US and South Korea claim that approximately 8,000 to 11,000 North Korean troops have been stationed in Russia, near the border with Ukraine. This figure is a significant increase from the previous day, when US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that only some North Korean troops had moved towards the Ukrainian border. However, Russia has avoided confirming or denying the presence of these troops, with a US ambassador questioning a Russian representative about the matter.
