Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said North Korea is preparing to send 10,000 troops to help Russia’s war on Ukraine, in a sign of deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
“We know about 10,000 soldiers of North Korea, that they are preparing to send to fight against us,” Zelensky told reporters in Brussels on Thursday. Ukraine officials have for weeks said that North Korean soldiers were fighting in Ukraine, without providing evidence.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said earlier this week that they were seeing signs of increased material support from North Korea to Russia, both artillery shells and missiles, though reports of personnel being sent were still being evaluated.
But speaking alongside Zelenskiy at another press conference, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said there was no evidence North Korean soldiers are involved in the fight.
Russia last week dismissed the reports of North Korean troop deployment as “one more fake.”
The deployment, if confirmed, would mark a major step in Pyongyang’s cooperation with Moscow after Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed in June to provide immediate military assistance if one of them is attacked. North Korea maintains around 1.28 million active troops, according to South Korea’s defense white paper.
Well, you can openly cheer for North Korea now.Does Zelensky have syphilis or something?
His brain is going off the rocker.
Not only is he trying to blackmail the United States and NATO, he now without evidence is saying NK is amassing 10K troops in Russia to fight in Ukraine

I wouldn't be surprised. N. Korea can't feed them. Kim is going to make Putin do it.
Ukrainian media reported earlier this month that six North Koreans were among those killed by a Ukrainian missile strike in the partially occupied eastern Donetsk region on Oct. 3.Ukrainians will welcome them as they have welcomed Russians, as sunflower beds and compost.

10,000?They are already there.
I don't care if they are monsters, as long as they end up feeding sunflowers.Ukrainian media reported earlier this month that six North Koreans were among those killed by a Ukrainian missile strike in the partially occupied eastern Donetsk region on Oct. 3.
In addition to 10,000 military members being deployed to Russia to support Putin's war, this is what I find particularly ominous.
North Korea has dispatched 1,500 special forces troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine, South Korea’s spy agency said in a statement Friday, a move that will likely put further strain on already tense relations between the reclusive nuclear-armed state and the West.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) said in a statement that it caught its northern neighbor “transporting North Korean special forces to Russia through a Russian naval transport ship.”
These “soldiers were given Russian military uniforms and Russian-made weapons,” the statement said, adding that they were also given forged identification documents to make it look like they had come from the regions in Siberia where people resemble North Koreans. -- North Korean special forces in Russia readying for combat in Ukraine war, South Korea says, Henry Austin, NBC News, 10/18/2024
These guys are not to be scoffed at.
North Korea a client of China is supplying troops to Russia to fight a war that threaten Europe. If Trump is elected will Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and (Canada?)? be forced to make a deal with China and Russia. It would be the end of American leadership in the world.
I love British colloquialism.The only deal on offer is for Russia to bugger off and stop the war.
Yes and for sure which is why the US military will not accept it.North Korea a client of China is supplying troops to Russia to fight a war that threaten Europe.

Last May:This puts North Korean combat troops at the borders of NATO, as if Russia and Belarus weren't enough already. Putin is internationalizing his barbarian war in Ukraine from his side of it. Iran already is supplying Putin with munitions. NK troops there now have been issued Russian weapons and caliber of ammo which eases the burden in Pyongyang to supply 'em over the thousands of miles distance between 'em.
This though isn't the old Russian tactic of escalate to deescalate, it is rather escalating to escalate. Kim meanwhile is hopping mad Seoul sent a drone flying over Pyongyang to check things out -- it certainly caught the NK military with their heads up their arses. The furious Kim said 1.4m military age people signed up or reupped for military service because of it, which is his number to play with of course.
Kim's combat troops at the borders of NATO countries certainly aren't playing however. This is a serious internationalization of Putin's war from his side of it. If Kim does send upwards of 10,000 combat troops it will risk significantly the European posture toward engagement. France for instance has said already individual European countries will need to send their sovereign troops into Ukraine sooner or later.

Some Americans seem to be very interested in defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine constantly. I wonder how that works.
They loathe the idea of representative republics and want a strongman.Some Americans seem to be very interested in defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine constantly. I wonder how that works.
I remembering something like that happening before.
No coincidence the leader of the republican party seemingly has a love affair with putin and kim......
......there should be no doubt that to stop democrats he would gladly invite them both to help him win.
