South Korea suspects North Korea is preparing to send more troops to Russia despite heavy losses and captured soldiers. Ukraine reports 11,000 North Korean troops in Russia, with over 3,000 casualties. This follows a defence pact signed by Pyongyang and Moscow in 2024.
South Korea's military believes North Korea is preparing to send additional troops to Russia despite heavy losses and captured soldiers. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) stated Pyongyang is accelerating follow-up measures but did not specify further details.
Ukraine recently captured two North Korean soldiers in Russia’s Kursk region, marking the first confirmed instance of their detention. Kyiv estimates that around 11,000 North Korean troops have been deployed, with over 3,000 killed or wounded.
Although Moscow and Pyongyang initially denied the reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin later refrained from dismissing them. North Korea maintains that any such deployment is lawful.
This growing military cooperation follows Putin’s visit to Pyongyang in June 2024, where both nations signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty, including a mutual defence pact.
