A man walks past a newspaper displayed on a street for the public in Seoul on October 21, 2024, with coverage on North Korea's decision to deploy thousands of soldiers to Ukraine's front lines and a photo of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia's President Vladimir Putin toasting at a banquet in Pyongyang earlier this year.
Seoul’s spy agency released detailed satellite images showing the first batch of 1,500 North Korean special forces from the elite “Storm Corps” had arrived in Vladivostok on Russian military vessels. “North Korea is our close neighbour and partner and we develop relations in all areas and it’s our sovereign right,“ he told journalists in Moscow, while declining to comment on whether Russia is using North Korean troops.
In return for sending soldiers to help Russia in Ukraine, “Kim Jong Un is aiming to acquire military technologies, ranging from surveillance satellites to submarines”, he said.
