Ukraine Says 3,000 North Korean Troops Fighting for Russia; U.S. Expresses Deep Concern
Oct 15, 2024, 09:01 AM
Ukrainian intelligence reports that North Korea is sending troops to support Russia's military operations in Ukraine, with estimates of up to 3,000 soldiers. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated, "In fact, there is the inclusion of North Korea in the war against Ukraine," citing intelligence that Pyongyang plans to send several thousand soldiers. Reports suggest that a "Special Buryat Battalion" staffed by North Korean personnel is being formed within Russia's 11th Separate Air Assault Brigade, possibly to be deployed near Mariupol in the Donetsk region or the Kursk region. Some sources indicate that North Korean troops are being issued identity cards to pass them off as Buryat soldiers. The U.S. National Security Council expressed deep concern over these reports, noting that North Korea has already supplied missiles and artillery shells to Russia. The alleged involvement of North Korean troops signifies deeper cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow amid the ongoing conflict.
