North Korea's Potential Troop Deployment to Ukraine Sparks Global Concerns
The United States has raised alarms over North Korea's possible troop deployment to Ukraine in support of Russia. Reports suggest that North Korea could send up to 12,000 soldiers, which would be seen as a dangerous escalation. The US and its allies are analyzing the situation amidst growing concern over North Korea's military involvement with Russia.
The United States has expressed serious concerns regarding reports that North Korea is preparing to send troops to support Russia in Ukraine.
Robert Wood, US ambassador to the United Nations, addressed the Security Council, noting reports from Seoul that North Korea has already deployed soldiers to Russia's Far East and might send up to 12,000 troops in total.
This move, if true, is seen as a dangerous escalation and a deepening of military ties between Pyongyang and Moscow.
The US is consulting with allies on the potential implications.
The US State Department, through Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel, stated that they are not yet able to confirm these reports.
France's UN envoy, Nicolas de Riviere, echoed concerns, describing North Korea's support as troubling.
