'It's dramatic, there are 10,000 soldiers' - Blinken and Austin on North Korean troops in Russia

#Kanal13​ #likekanal13​ #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine
Some 8,000 North Korean soldiers are now in Russia near Ukraine’s border and are preparing to help the Kremlin fight against Ukrainian troops in the coming days, the Biden administration said Thursday.

The new figure from is an dramatic increase from a day earlier, when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin would only say “some” of the troops had moved toward Ukraine’s border in the Kursk region, where Moscow's forces have struggled to push back a Ukrainian incursion

That also would mean most of the North Korean troops that the U.S. and its allies say have been sent to Russia are now on the Russia-Ukraine border.

The U.S. has estimated there are about 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia. Seoul and its allies assess that the number has increased to 11,000, while Ukraine has put the figure higher, at up to 12,000.

Of the 8,000 in Kursk, “we’ve not yet seen these troops deploy into combat against Ukrainian forces but we would expect that to happen in the coming days,” Blinken said at a news conference with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and their South Korean counterparts.

He said Russia has been training North Korean soldiers in artillery, drones and “basic infantry operations, including trench clearing, indicating that they fully intend to use these forces in front line operations.”

North Korea’s move to tighten its relationship with Russia has raised concerns around the world about how that may expand the war and what Russian military aid will be delivered in exchange.

It’s become a key topic as U.S. and South Korean leaders met this week in Washington, fueling concerns that the presence of those soldiers will further destabilize the Asia-Pacific and broaden Moscow’s war on Ukraine.

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul condemned the deployment “in the strongest possible terms” and called for an immediate withdrawal of the troops.

North Korea’s belligerent actions not only places the European continent but also the Korean peninsula under threat and that Seoul agrees “to take necessary measures accordingly,” he said.

There are questions about what new military technologies North Korea might get from Russia in exchange for the deployment and whether it might lead other nations to send their own forces to fight in the war.

Fellow humans, we stand at a crucial crossroad in our shared history, and the path we choose next will define not only our lives but the lives of every generation to come. We have achieved astonishing things—building civilizations, unlocking mysteries of science, exploring the depths of space. But despite all our progress, we have not yet mastered what may be our greatest challenge: peace.
Peace is more than an ideal or a distant hope; it is the last, best chance we have to create a future worth living in. The threats we face are unprecedented, with conflicts that span borders, environmental crises that disregard politics, and technologies capable of both building and devastating worlds. In a time where the stakes have never been higher, our only lasting hope is to embrace peace as a practical necessity for our survival.
Look around. Almost half the world lives amid the echoes of war, conflict, and unrest. We see it in the faces of displaced families, in cities turned to ruins, in communities torn apart by anger and loss. This is a truth we can’t ignore, and it’s one that affects every single one of us, whether we experience it first hand or feel its impact in our society, our economies, and our shared humanity. The world has become a place where peace feels fragile, a privilege for some, rather than a universal right. But peace cannot be a distant goal—it must become our collective priority.

The time is now. We cannot wait for peace to simply arrive or hope it will be granted by the hands of a few. Peace must be built by us all, from every corner of the world, across every divide. It is in our hands—ordinary people, leaders, communities—to insist that there is another way. Each of us has a role in rejecting division, hatred, and complacency, choosing instead to uphold human dignity, compassion, and understanding.

This is our chance to change. We must choose peace—not as a passive absence of war but as an active commitment to justice, cooperation, and compassion. It’s time we recognize that real strength lies not in dominance but in unity, not in conquest but in understanding. Peace is a powerful force, one that has the capacity to break cycles of violence and create spaces for healing and growth. It’s within our power, and our responsibility, to make this choice.

It won’t be easy, and it won’t be fast. But if we don’t seize this opportunity now, when will we? For every child who grows up knowing only violence, for every person who lives in fear and displacement, for every culture losing its history to destruction, we carry a shared responsibility to end this cycle. For every life lost, every dream shattered, and every hope deferred, we owe it to ourselves—and to each other—to make peace our legacy.

This may be our last chance. Let us set aside the divisions and hostilities that have held us back. Let us work, with everything we have, toward a peaceful world that our children and their children can thrive in. The moment demands our courage, our humility, and our wisdom. Together, we can make peace our greatest achievement and our most enduring legacy.

This is our last chance—let us seize it, and let us make peace our path forward. Derek Sadie

Blame the US and the West for their hesitant attitude and sluggish actions regarding their arms supplied to Ukraine. The war could have been ended too soon if they heeded President Selensky's cry for more powerful weapons specially when they have captured part of the Kurst region.

17/10 2024 the danish parliament approved the 21 aid package to Ukraine after there wishes air defense 350 million dollars, especially in the winter Ukraine has high energy needs and cannot afford serious disruption to their infrastructure it will hurt their population and military production, if the North Korea soldiers in large numbers appear in the front lines I’m sure a new package for Ukraine will be allocated before the end of the year, Russian escalation should be met with escalation
