SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Tuesday its top diplomat is visiting Russia, in another sign of their deepening relations as rival South Korea and Western nations say the North has sent thousands of troops to support Russia’s war in Ukraine.
At a press briefing on Monday, a defence ministry spokesman refrained from confirming the deployment, reported by Yonhap, stating only: “The government will carry out necessary studies and measures.”
The North Korean deployment has divided analysts. Some argue that operational hurdles, language barriers, and differing military practices will hinder their combat effectiveness. Others, however, believe that historical familiarity between the North Koreans and their Russian counterparts will mitigate these issues.
