Reports are coming in that thousands of North Korean soldiers are being trained to fight in Ukraine to help Russia deal with its losses in the ongoing war. This development is part of a growing friendship between North Korea and Russia, which could benefit both countries.
What’s Happening?
According to a Ukrainian news outlet, the North Korean troops will be part of a group called the “Special Buryat Battalion.” This battalion is organized within the 11th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the Russian army. It is expected to have around 3,000 North Korean soldiers, who are currently receiving training and being supplied with weapons.
These soldiers might be sent to the Sudzha region, which is close to the area of conflict in Ukraine. While reports suggest that some North Korean troops may already be there, it is unclear exactly when the rest will arrive or where they will be deployed.
