The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck buildings in the Kursk region of Russia, where, according to El Pais , North Korean military personnel were stationed. An officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed to the newspaper that Ukrainian artillery had targeted targets where North Korean troops are likely to be stationed, helping the Russian Federation in its war against Ukraine.
There is no official confirmation of this information at the moment, but according to American sources, including Deputy Pentagon Spokesperson Sabrina Singh, North Korea has sent about 10,000 troops to Russia to undergo training and possibly participate in hostilities.
In view of the new data on the military presence of the DPRK on the territory of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga called on the North Atlantic Alliance to lift restrictions on the use of long-range artillery against objects in Russia. According to the minister, this will allow to more effectively respond to the expansion of the presence of foreign forces in the war and will strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.
The presence of troops from North Korea on the territory of Russia raises additional questions at the international level. The presence of Russia's new allies, such as North Korea, could change the dynamics of the conflict, providing Russian forces with additional resources.
