Military pact? Soldiers from North Korea are supposed to fight for Russia

In the Ukraine According to South Korean information, it is almost certain that they are fighting North Korean soldiers alongside Russian troops. It is “very likely” that Ukrainian reports of six North Korean military personnel killed in eastern Ukraine are true, he said South Korea’s Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on Tuesday in Parliament in Seoul. Mutual agreements between Moscow and Pyongyang are similar to a military pact, Kim explained.

Ukrainian media reported over the weekend that six North Korean soldiers were killed in a Ukrainian attack on Russian-occupied territory near the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. Experts have long pointed out that Russia is using North Korean weapons in Ukraine, something that Moscow and Pyongyang reject.

North Korea has strengthened its military ties with Russia in recent years. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the North Korean capital in June and signed a defense agreement with leader Kim Jong-un. The two countries have been allies since the founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea after World War II and have grown closer since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
