Ukraine War LIVE: US Says Russia Turning to North Korea for Help, Calls it "Clear Sign of Weakness"

The United States expects North Korean soldiers in Russia to deploy in combat against Ukrainian forces in coming days, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday, warning they would become legitimate military targets if they enter the battlefield. Blinken, speaking at a press conference following a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and their South Korean counterparts, said Russia has been training the North Korean soldiers in artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, and basic infantry operations, indicating they "fully intend" to use the forces in frontline operations. The top US diplomat said there were 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia, including as many as 8,000 in the Kursk region. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. In August this year, Ukrainian forces fought their way into the Russian border area of Kursk, where they continue to hold territory.

8.000 000? No! 800 000? No! 80 000? No 8.000? What?

I think this is Putin’s response to NATO’s Presence in Ukraine

[joshuapaul]

Yeah, sure. N Korea’s recent history of illegal wars, occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia etc. is a legitimate cause for concern.

Both sides probably have high resolution close range satellites to track humans.
Today many has installed anti-drone umbrellas on vehicles. Not sure useful..

Could the West organize a large-scale flow of volunteers from different countries for Ukraine to counteract North Korea joining the war?

[tiogoyito]
