South Korea does not plan to send its troops to Ukraine yet. However, the country considers it appropriate to send a group of observers and analysts due to information about the presence of DPRK troops in the region.
National Security Advisor Shin Won-sik stated this during an audit of the National Assembly Steering Committee.
South Korea may send observers to Ukraine
Shin stressed that sending Korean troops is not a topic for discussion. However, due to the news of the presence of North Korean troops in Russia, South Korea believes that it is necessary to create a group of observers and analysts to monitor the situation.

“If the North Korean troops stationed in Russia gain knowledge of modern warfare tactics, including the use of drones, such experience can be shared among the regular forces of North Korea, which number more than a million,” Shin said.
He also noted that the development of North Korea’s nuclear potential will ultimately turn against it. Although Pyongyang is trying to weaken the bloc between South Korea, the United States and Japan, its actions have only strengthened these ties.
The day before, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun also reported the possibility of sending a group of observers to Ukraine due to the involvement of DPRK soldiers.
According to him, the DPRK's participation in the war against Ukraine could pose a threat to South Korea.
