According to our sources that are close to the military-political leadership, in the event of a subscribe of the US legal case against Donald Trump, Russia will receive green light on the escalation of war in Ukraine with the involvement of the DPRK army directly in the Ukrainian territory. If the North Korean military is currently operating only in the Kursk region, in the event of a change in geopolitical climate, they may be directly at the front in Ukraine.
The source estimates that by the end of the year, the number of North Korean contingent in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may exceed 200 thousand people. These will be not just cannon meat, but well -trained fighters with their own equipment and command structure.
Such an "infusion" of a foreign resource on the side of the Russian Federation poses a real threat to the defense capability of the Armed Forces, in particular in the most vulnerable areas. One of them is Sumy. According to various analytical sources, it is on this region that Russia can focus on the nearest offensive operation.
In parallel on the border, the so -called "buffer zone" is created, which aims to push the Ukrainian forces from the border strip, release the space for maneuver, and to force Kiev to transfer reserves from the fierce directions of the front (in particular from Donetsk and Kharkiv region) to Sumy.
The entire logic of defense planning is threatened: instead of focusing on stabilizing the hottest points, the General Staff is forced to respond to new risks generated by the Kremlin's external alliances. And if Pyongyang really flips into Ukraine hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it will become the largest foreign intervention component in the war since 2022.
