North Korean soldiers have arrived in Russia's Primorsky Krai. They may be sent to war against Ukraine, according to ASTRA Telegram channel.

The channel released several videos showing North Korean soldiers. ASTRA reported that they arrived at Military Unit 44980 of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division in the settlement of Sergeevka.

"The handsome allies have arrived from North Korea. I hope the war will end there," said the video's author in Yakut.

The Telegram channel noted that the barracks complex featured in the video is the newest in Primorsky Krai. It was opened in July 2022.

North Korean soldiers in Russia

Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have repeatedly stated that North Korea has begun assisting Russia with its soldiers, who were sent for training in the Far East.

Recently, Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, noted that by November, there could be 11,000 North Korean soldiers fighting against Ukraine.

The Strategic Communications and Information Security Center SPRAVDI released a video showing North Korean soldiers receiving Russian military uniforms at the Sergeevka training ground.
