North Korea sends 10,000 troops to Russia for training, raising global security concerns

North Korea has deployed around 10,000 troops to Russia for training, marking the first time such a large number of North Korean soldiers have been sent abroad. This development raises concerns about an escalation in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. NATO has confirmed the troop presence, describing it as a "dangerous expansion" of Russia's military efforts. Reports suggest that North Korea may seek military technology from Russia in exchange for its support, further complicating security dynamics in Europe and Asia. World leaders have reacted strongly, with warnings about the implications for global peace and security. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and NATO officials have expressed concerns about the potential threat posed by this military cooperation between North Korea and Russia.
