North Korean troops reportedly enter Ukraine as training continues in Russia
cnn.com —
A small number of North Korean troops are reportedly inside Ukraine, according to Western intelligence officials. This marks a shift from previous assessments, which indicated that around 10,000 North Koreans were training in eastern Russia. U.S. officials have not yet confirmed the presence of North Korean troops in Ukraine. Meanwhile, South Korean officials are discussing the situation with NATO allies, and South Korea's president has suggested a possible review of their policy on military aid to Ukraine. Concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of North Korean troops, who have not seen combat in over 70 years. Language barriers and command issues may complicate their integration with Russian forces.
