He South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) has reported this Friday of that at least 1,500 special forces soldiers North Koreans are training in the far east of Russia. As proof, South Korean intelligence, which a few weeks ago already warned of the presence of North Korean troops in Ukraine, has published several satellite photographs showing troop movements.
“Troop movement has already begun“, the NIS has indicated. Thus, it would be the first shipment of North Korean soldiers outside the national territory since the Korean War, which ended in 1953 with an armistice. That is, without a definitive peace. At the same time, the South Korean agency has reported that it is estimated that, in total, Pyongyang “plans to send a total of 12,000 troops of four different brigades, including special forces, to the Ukrainian war.
At the same time, the South Korean authorities have stated that they have followed for the first time to a senior Pyongyang missile development official who visited the Russian front lines in August along with dozens of other North Korean officers. They were toastingon-site orientation” to Russian forces using North Korean weapons, news agency said Yonhap.
This information comes just a few days after The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR), Kirilo Budánov, claimed to have evidence that about 11,000 North Korean soldiers are receiving training in eastern Russia to join Kremlin troops fighting kyiv starting November 1.
Everything indicates that this decision of Kim Jong-unreticent throughout his regime to send troops abroad, is included in the strategic cooperation treaty that he signed last June with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The pact, which has aroused fear in the international community due to the rapprochement between the two leaders, includes a mutual assistance clause in the event that one of the two countries is attacked.
In this sense, the condition could occur if Russia proclaims the incursion that Ukrainian forces are carrying out in the Kursk region as an attack. For its part, Russia has been labeled as a “hoax” information, while the North Korean media (spokesperson of the regime) has chosen to remain silent.
