US and South Korean officials have reported evidence of North Korean troops being dispatched to Russia, which could mark the first instance of a third country directly participating in the conflict in Ukraine. The alleged deployment is said to number around 3,000 soldiers, who have been stationed at several training sites in eastern Russia.

    1. North Korea's support of the Russian war of aggression directly threatens Germany's security and the European peace order.

    1. We don't even know whether we are talking about 1,500 or 12,000 or which kind of soldiers are coming to Russia and to fight where and against.
    2. It's a kind of escalation and it shows us a very important, a very important aspect. International conflicts are approaching very rapidly.

    1. If they're co-belligerents, their intention is to participate in this war on Russia's behalf, that is a very, very serious issue, and it will have impacts not only in Europe, it will also impact things in the Indo-Pacific.
    2. What exactly they're doing – left to be seen.
    3. This is an indication that he [Vladimir Putin] may be even in more trouble than most people realise.
    4. There is evidence that there are [North Korean] troops in Russia.
    5. There are also signs of North Korean authorities relocating and isolating those families [of the troops] in a certain place in order to effectively control them and thoroughly crack down on the rumours.

    1. If it's true that DPRK soldiers are joining Putin's war against Ukraine, it certainly would mark a dangerous and highly concerning development.

    1. I think Ukraine is wearing down the Russian Army as we talk. You don't get thousands of soldiers from North Korea if your war is going well.

    1. Signs of troops being trained inside North Korea were detected in September and October. It appears that the troops have now been dispersed to multiple training facilities in Russia and are adapting to the local environment.
