DPRK may send its soldiers to war against Ukraine

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) may send its military to Ukraine to support the Russian Federation (RF). The possibility of such a scenario is very likely.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, as quoted by The Korea Times.

During his address to lawmakers at a parliamentary hearing, the minister recalled that Russia and the DPRK had signed a mutual agreement that is similar to a military alliance.

“Since Russia and North Korea have signed a mutual treaty similar to a military alliance, the possibility of such a deployment (sending troops to Ukraine - ed.) is very likely,” the minister said.

In particular, he added that the recent report of DPRK military deaths in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine is also likely to be “true.”
