South Korea: no signs of imminent deployment of new North Korean troops to Russia

South Korea’s Ministry of Defense is not detecting signs that North Korea will send additional troops to Russia in the near future, though such preparations are being made in general.

Reuters reports this.

According to Seoul, North Korea continues to supply Russia with weapons systems, including short-range ballistic missiles. In total, North Korea has transferred more than 15 million rounds of artillery ammunition to Russia.

Last week, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un denied a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Pyongyang plans to send up to 50,000 additional troops to Russia to take part in combat operations.
