The troops of North Korea or Iran, operating in the military uniform of the Russian army, can become a real threat to NATO countries. This was stated by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak.
As the head of the OP noted, the Alliance should consider the risks of the appearance of hybrid threats on its borders, and the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation, which sabotages cables, is not the only such threat.
"The appearance on the borders of NATO countries of North Korean soldiers disguised in Russian uniforms or Iranian proxies is quite real, if Russia is not stopped now. North Korean troops are already fighting on the territory of Europe. Who could have thought of this before?” Yermak said.
Impunity breeds permissiveness, now is the moment that requires "strong decisions and strong actions", added the head of the OP.
North Korean troops are at war against Ukraine
Earlier, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine deciphered another part of the records of a North Korean soldier who was eliminated in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. It turned out that he congratulated another soldier on his birthday.
In addition, serviceman Kyrylo Sazonov said that North Korean soldiers kill themselves in order not to be captured by the Armed Forces. He believes that this is due to the fear of reprisals against their families in North Korea.
