North Korean soldiers may fight against Ukraine
According to sources from RBC-Ukraine, North Korean soldiers have already been brought to Russia for combat preparation against Ukraine. The Center for Strategic Communications released a video showing them receiving Russian military uniforms at a training ground in the Far East. New evidence of their presence in Russia has emerged today.
Subsequently, South Korea pledged to take "phased measures" against North Korea and Russia due to their deepening military cooperation.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine has information about the preparation of two units of North Korean soldiers - specifically, two brigades of 6,000 personnel each.
