There are approximately 700,000 enemy troops on the territory of Ukraine. However, Russia may still involve military personnel from North Korea in the war.

About this 24 Channelsaid the head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ivan Timochko, noting that Russia and North Korea are taking such steps not because they are “powerful” and have plans to seize additional territories. Their goal is to build a deeper layered defense.

The center of the “axis of evil”

As for North Korea, according to Timochko, sending troops to Russia is an opportunity to make money on human resources and take part of the population out of the country. As you know, living conditions in the DPRK are very difficult, and this will relieve a certain burden from a country with a population of almost 26 million.

For Putin, it is important to demonstrate that he is the center of the “axis of evil”.

He is trying to show that it includes North Korea, Iran, and African countries. He also makes attempts to flirt with Vietnam. In the international arena, Putin wants to look like some kind of “bloc” that indirectly opposes the West, he explained.

At the same time, Western partners have repeatedly stated that they can use their military contingents on the territory of Ukraine. Of course, this will be carried out within the framework of Ukrainian legislation.

In democratic countries, according to him, there is an approval process that is longer than in countries where dictators rule. In authoritarian states decisions are made individually and quickly. However, such agreements, unlike those concluded between democratic countries, are not long-term, but situational.

“Therefore, the agreement between Putin and Kim Je-un is < strong>situational agreement. They change places in their dictatorial arena. The head of North Korea is the grandson of the captain of the Soviet army (Kim Il Sung – the founder of the DPRK – Channel 24), to whom Putin comes with a bow. This is unpleasant for the head of the Kremlin, so as soon as he “improves” his position, he will “drown” the North Korean dictator in internal political intrigues,” Timochko noted.

Cooperation between Russia and the DPRK

• North Korea is one of the few allies of Russia that supplies it with weapons . Thus, according to Western media reports, Pyongyang handed over almost 5 million shells to Moscow.
• During Putin’s visit to the DPRK, the dictators signed a comprehensive agreement that provides for the provision of military assistance in the event of aggression against one of the countries.
• Also, North Korea will send its military construction and engineering capabilities to the territory of occupied Ukraine in July 2024.
