North Korea mobilizes fresh troops for potential deployment to Russia.
Headline: North Korea May Send More Troops to Russia to Aid in Ukraine War by July or August, According to South Korean Intelligence
Gist: Evidence suggests North Korea could dispatch additional soldiers to Russia, potentially commencing as early as July or August this year. This information is based on recent military activities in North Korea and a visit by Russian Security Council chief Sergei Shoigu to Pyongyang.
South Korean lawmaker Lee Sung-gwan shared this update after a closed-door briefing by the National Intelligence Service (NIS). The agency believes these developments signal Russia's preparation for a major offensive in Ukraine around the same time.
Apparently, North Korea has been exchanging weapons with Russia, possibly receiving technical insights on satellite launches and missile guidance systems in return. Allegedly, these arms trade transactions have been ongoing since Russia invaded Ukraine.
While details regarding the number and nature of the additional troops to be sent aren't clear, the selection process appears to be in motion. If this happens, it would mark a further strengthening of the military alliance between North Korea and Russia in the context of the Ukraine conflict.
