South Korea considers it important to send a group of observers and analysts to Ukraine amid reports on the military support of Russia by North Korea, said the National Security Council of Sinu.
According to Yonhap, the official answered questions from deputies of the National Assembly to support North Korea of Russia with military resources. He stated that the sending of South Korean soldiers to Ukraine is not planned, but he noted that the participation of observers and analysts from South Korea would be useful.
In addition, Sinu Sik also stated that although Pyongyang is successful in the development of missile and nuclear programs, he does not manage to weaken the US alliance and South Korea and violate cooperation between Seoul, Washington and Tokyo on the topic of North Korea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in June visited North Korea on an official visit, during which an agreement was signed on a “comprehensive strategic partnership.”
On October 25, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia intends to deploy North Korean troops in advanced positions in Ukraine on October 27-28.
According to the United States, about 10 thousand North Korean military are located in Russia, of which 8 thousand are located in the Kursk region, near the border with Ukraine.
