North Korea has already provided Russia with soldiers to participate in the war against Ukraine. Against this background, the President of South Korea called an emergency meeting.

This is reported by Bloomberg. It is noted that the meeting was devoted specifically to the movement of North Korean troops to Russia.

The DPRK's participation in the war against Ukraine

On Friday, October 18, South Korean President Yun Suk-yul held an unscheduled security meeting with key intelligence, military, and national security officials to discuss the participation of North Korean troops in Russia's war against Ukraine.

South Korea considers this fact to be a “serious security threat” to the country and the international community.

At the same time, the office of the South Korean president did not specify how many DPRK soldiers the DPRK sent to Russia and what are their roles. According to the Yonhap News, citing sources in South Korean intelligence, we are talking about 12 thousand troops, including special forces.

The office of President Yun Suk-yol reported that they, together with their allies, closely monitored the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia from the initial stages.

Let's add that a video has already appeared online from the Sergeyevsky training ground in Primorsky Krai, where North Korean troops are being equipped in Russian uniforms.
