Unyielding backing in the conflict within Ukraine - Kim Jong Un expresses unwavering backing for the Ukrainian conflict
In a surprising turn of events, North Korea has been involved in supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict against Ukraine, rather than backing Ukraine as some may have anticipated. Here's a closer look at the North Korean soldiers' role in Russia.
Initially, over 10,000 North Korean soldiers were reportedly deployed in Russia's Kursk region, contributing significantly to combat operations. Regrettably, more than 6,000 casualties have been sustained, reflecting the soldiers' active role in frontline combat.
At first, Russia denied the presence of North Korean troops. However, following battlefield successes, both Russia and North Korea publicly acknowledged the role of North Korean troops in pushing Ukrainian forces out of the Kursk region.
Recent reports suggest that there may be plans for North Korea to send up to 30,000 more soldiers to Russia, but no specific details have been confirmed. It's important to note that these reports indicate that North Korea is continuing to support Russia, not Ukraine.
The North Korean forces have shown a remarkable ability to adapt to modern combat conditions, including drone warfare, which has undoubtedly contributed to their impact on the battlefield.
The involvement of North Korean troops in Russia's conflict with Ukraine highlights a significant geopolitical alignment between North Korea and Russia. This alliance could further complicate international relations and potentially escalate tensions in the region.
In a significant development, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reaffirmed North Korea's unconditional support for Russia in the Ukraine war. This support was reaffirmed during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, which took place in the North Korean coastal city of Wonsan.
The strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea includes military assistance, as confirmed by the summer of 2024 agreement. In the past, North Korea has sent weapons, mainly artillery and rockets, to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
However, the exact number of soldiers North Korea plans to send to Russia remains unspecified. It's also important to note that no official confirmation has been made regarding any exchange of food, funds, or technical assistance between Russia and North Korea in relation to this potential increase in military aid.
In summary, North Korea's military involvement is focused on supporting Russia in the conflict, not Ukraine. Any potential increase in North Korean forces would likely be part of this ongoing support for Russia. The strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea, including military assistance, could have significant implications for international relations and regional tensions.
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers, considering the increased number of North Korean soldiers potentially being deployed in war-and-conflicts areas such as Russia, where they could be exposed to risks related to ionizing radiation from modern combat conditions, including drone warfare. This alignment between North Korea and Russia, demonstrated through military assistance, has raised concerns in the realm of politics and general news, potentially escalating tensions and complicating international relations.
