This is a huge threat of further escalation of Russian aggression against Ukraine,
There is a big risk of it growing out of its current scale and borders,
If it’s true, then to my mind, it shows a level of desperation in relation to Russia,
Russia is in a difficult position in terms of the number of casualties and the financial strain this war is placing on them,
We remain united in our support for Ukraine. We have always said it is for the Ukrainian people to decide their own future. So we’re clear, together with President Zelenskyy, that the only acceptable outcome is a sovereign Ukraine and a just peace."
It means that Pyongyang won't be motivated to seek improvements in relations with Japan, South Korea and the U.S.,
This is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces.”
That kind of feedback from a real battlefield to North Korea to be able to make adjustments to their weapons, their ammunition, their capabilities, and even their people – to me, is very concerning,
We cannot rule out the possibility,
We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea,
This seems like yet another fake news story,
When we talk about giving Ukraine greater long-range capabilities and more decisive supplies for our forces, it’s not just a list of military equipment. It’s about increasing the pressure on the aggressor – pressure that will be stronger than what Russia can handle. And it’s about preventing an even larger war,
At this moment, our official position is that we cannot confirm reports that North Koreans are actively now as soldiers engaged in the war effort, but that may change.”
Diplomatically, Pyongyang would be sacrificing its relations with European countries for the foreseeable future. The quid pro quo in terms of Russian military technology provided to the Kim regime could be significant enough to threaten South Korea’s security,
These (North Korean) troops movements, if true, are alarming and are an extreme escalation of the conflict in Ukraine,
North Korean troops, either attacking Ukraine from Russian territory or entering into Ukrainian territory, must be a red line for the United States and NATO,
Even if North Korea is not physically there at the battlefield, then still they are helping to fuel Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine in every way they can,
We can't confirm or corroborate those reports,
We think that so long as Vladimir Putin believes that he is winning, that he is unlikely to engage in any serious negotiations,
Deepening cooperation between Russia and the DPRK is a trend that should be of great concern to anyone interested in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, upholding the global non-proliferation regime, and supporting the people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom and independence against Russia’s brutal war of aggression,
