Lithuania calls for NATO to support Ukraine with long-range strikes after North Korean troop deployment

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has called for NATO to lift restrictions on long-range strikes by Ukraine after confirming the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia. This marks a significant escalation in North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The Pentagon reported that North Korea has sent 10,000 troops to Russia, who may join the fight against Ukraine soon. Concerns have been raised about potential technology exchanges between Moscow and Pyongyang that could enhance North Korea's nuclear capabilities. Nausėda emphasized the need for increased military aid to Ukraine, including long-range missiles and permission to strike military targets in Russia. Discussions within NATO about removing geographical restrictions on long-range weapons are underway.
