North Korea strengthens military support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict
Myrne, Ukraine - The military cooperation between North Korea and Russia is intensifying. A high -ranking Russian representative is currently a three -day visit to North Korea, which has further strengthened the in -depth relationships between the two countries since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022. According to Kleine Zeitung moved North Korea to Russia to support the Russian campaign.
In addition, Kim Jong-UN has announced that it will send about 6,000 pioneers and construction workers to support reconstruction work in the Russian Region of Kursk. Last year a partnership agreement was signed that comprises a mutual defense pact, and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lawrow described the relationships between the two countries as a "invincible combat community".
Russian offensive in Ukraine
In the past few weeks, Russia has intensified its military activities. Since the beginning of the offensive in February 2022, the situation has been burdened by increasing terrain gain, but the exact review of independent pages is difficult. Despite the increasing military successes, the Russian government continues to reject the ceasefire proposal proposed by the USA.
presence of North Korean troops
The presence of North Korean soldiers in Russia, however, rejects Pyongyang as a "unfounded rumor", as reported by the Zeit . Nevertheless, Wladimir Putin commented on videos and photos of North Korean troops in Russian barracks at the BRICS summit, without denying their presence. The Ukrainian military secret service Hur assumes that more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers are in Russia, with 3,000 being expected on site.
Ukraine fears the use of these troops in the border area with the Kursk region. However, different experts have different views of the struggle of the North Korean soldiers. Some are skeptical, while others indicate the potentially higher discipline. Among the 12,000 soldiers should also be 500 officers and three generals.
strategic cooperation and effects
In June 2024, a contract for comprehensive strategic cooperation between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un was also signed. This represents a significant escalation in military cooperation. The main point of the agreement concerns mutual military support in the event of an attack on one of the two countries. According to ZDF , this contract was unanimously approved by the House of Representatives in Moscow; However, confirmation by the upper house is considered a matter of form.
NATO and the USA, especially the USA, express concern about this alliance and the possibility that North Korea supports Russia with ammunition and weapons. South Korea also accelerates its considerations of arms deliveries to Ukraine in response to North Korean support for Russia. The situation remains tense because the geopolitical dynamics in the region change and military cooperation between North Korea and Russia may have new challenges for the West.
