The South Korean Government is seriously considering sending a delegation of its military intelligence to Ukraine to closely monitor the North Koreans who, according to the authorities of the occupied country, are operating in the service of Putin.
The purpose of the South Koreans, institutional sources explain to the national news agency, would be “oversee the tactics and combat training of North Korean special forces sent to support Russia”. If Seoul takes this step forward, with kyiv’s approval, its men could not only analyze the behavior of their hostile neighbors on the ground, but also interrogate captured soldiers.
The intensification of South Korean support for the resistance would not stop here. The sources consulted in this information even consider the shipment of lethal weapons through third parties, as well as defensive weapons directly. This would fit with the president’s known plans Yook Suk-yeolbaptized as “measures in phases”, and presented to the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutteduring their telephone conversation last Monday.
“The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the reckless alignment between Russia and North Korea have once again confirmed that the security of the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic regions are inextricably connected,” Yoon told Rutte, according to the statement later published by his cabinet. “This undermines the rules-based international order, threatens peace on the Korean Peninsula and globally, and our Government will never let it happen without doing anything about it”.
Two relevant events happened on Monday. On the one hand, the South Korean Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to the Asian country to express its discontent over the transfer of North Korean troops to Russian territory with the apparent objective of transferring them to the front in Ukraine to support Moscow in the invasion. On the other hand, Yoon met in Seoul with the British Foreign Minister, David Lammyto whom he transmitted the information he has about the sending of North Korean troops. Some sources indicate that there are up to 12,000 soldiers on the front, and about 1,500 waiting for new movements.
South Korea, in this meeting, already expressed its desire to continue strengthening security ties in the current global context. This would meet the president’s requests. Volodymyr Zelenskyworn down by the insufficient trickle of Western supplies for the war against Russia.
Ayer, el líder de la resistencia pidió a sus aliados “no esconderse” y responder a la altura del “desafío”. Su “plan para la victoria” recibió una fría acogida en Estados Unidos, con la clase política centrada en las elecciones de dentro de dos semanas, y en Reino Unidos, Francia y Alemania. La situación es cada vez más difícil en el frente, mientras tanto, y el invierno promete empeorarla.
El Parlamento Europeo, en cualquier caso, aprobó ayer un crédito de hasta 35.000 millones de euros para Ucrania que el deudor pagará con los beneficios de activos rusos inmovilizados por las sanciones. Esta ayuda macrofinanciera forma parte de una iniciativa del G7 acordada en junio para proporcionar hasta 45.000 millones de euros a Ucrania para que financie sus necesidades militares y mantenga a flote sus cuentas. Aproximadamente 210.000 millones de euros del Banco Central de Rusia están dentro la Unión Europea y siguen paralizados como parte de las sanciones impuestas por la invasión de Ucrania en febrero de 2022.
El problema que Kiev enfrenta es que el apoyo llega a paso lento contra una Rusia en economía de guerra, con más de 100.000 millones de euros destinados a los esfuerzos militares, y con abundantes y continuos suministros de sus aliados, especialmente Irán y Corea del Norte.
