US claims North Korea sending 10,000 troops to train in Russia for Ukraine war, as Seoul warns of ‘significant security threat’
North Korea has denied sending troops, but in the first comment in state media last week, its vice foreign minister said that were such a deployment to happen, it would be in line with international law. The deployment is “a dangerous expansion of Russia’s war”, NATO chief Mark Rutte said, adding it was “a sign of Putin’s growing desperation.”
Seoul’s spy agency told lawmakers that even high-ranking North Korean generals “could move to frontline areas”, as it flagged acclerating military cooperation between the two countries. The North is also clamping down domestically on the spread of information about the Russia deployment, Lee said citing the spy agency, with “families of deployed soldiers being falsely informed that they are in training.”
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen also warned that North Korea sending troops for the first time represented “a significant escalation of the war against Ukraine and threatens global peace.”
