Ever heard of an unlikely pair? North Korea and Russia are working together in the Ukraine war. South Korea's spy agency says North Korea sent 1, 500 troops to Russia for training. This happened in October, with seven Russian ships carrying the soldiers. Interestingly, these troops were specially inspected by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un himself. Plus, there are frequent Russian planes traveling between Vladivostok and Pyongyang. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been warning about this alliance, saying North Korea might send up to 10, 000 soldiers. This could be North Korea's first major international war involvement. They have a big army, but they lack combat experience.
The South Korean intel says these North Korean troops were sent to Russia's far east for training, near the border with North Korea. They're expected to join the front lines after training. They're disguised as Russian soldiers, with Russian uniforms, weapons, and fake IDs. The Kremlin denies these claims, but there are signs that North Korea is helping Russia in the Ukraine war. Both countries are facing criticism from the West. They've been getting closer since Russia invaded Ukraine. During Putin's visit to North Korea in June, they agreed to help each other if attacked. Putin said their ties are getting stronger. Kim Jong Un supports Russia's war in Ukraine.
