South Korean officials to brief NATO tomorrow on North Korean troop deployment in Russia

A delegation of high-ranking South Korean officials will brief the North Atlantic Council on the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia tomorrow, NATO said. The US has expressed serious concerns about the possibility of these troops being used against Ukraine. “Ambassadors from NATO’s partners in the Indo-Pacific – Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea – have been invited to attend” the Council, the statement said. Ukrainian military intelligence says around 12,000 soldiers, including 500 officers and three generals, are already in Russia and training at five military bases. Russian President Vladimir Putin has not denied that North Korean troops are in his country but said it was up to Moscow to decide how to implement a cooperation agreement with Pyongyang that includes a mutual defense clause in case either country is attacked from outside. source: APE
