Several thousand soldiers from North Korea are being trained in Russia. They can be transferred to Ukraine by the end of the year.
This was written by the Washington Post with reference to representatives of the GUR.
At the same time, individual North Korean officers are already on the territory of Ukraine to study the battlefield.
At the same time, the Ukrainian military has not yet encountered any North Korean unit that would participate in hostilities.
Sources of the publication suggest that the North Korean military can be used in the border regions of Russia to free up Russian troops to participate in hostilities in Ukraine.
"It could have a significant impact. Especially if we are talking about the release of reserves on the territory of the Russian Federation," said a representative of Ukrainian intelligence.
