Brussels: If proven correct, the revelations that thousands of North Korean troops are set to fight with Russian forces on Ukrainian battlefields represent a terrifying turn of events in the war.
In the video, which was verified by Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security, which operates under the Culture and Information Ministry, presumably North Korean soldiers stand in line to pick up bags, clothes and other apparel from Russian servicemen.
Around 1,500 soldiers have already arrived in Russia, with an estimated total of 12,000 to come, reported South Korean media.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused North Korea this week of preparing to send soldiers to help Moscow’s war effort against Ukraine.
