North Korea has reportedly sent troops to Russia's Kursk region, according to the United States. This would be the first time that another country has become directly involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Unwavering support and barely hidden ambitions. Friday, November 1, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui showed her support for Russia. “We affirm that we will always stand firmly alongside our Russian comrades until Victory Day.“For now, neither Moscow nor Pyongyang have confirmed the arrival of North Korean troops in Ukraine. However, according to the United States, it is only a matter of days before these reinforcements are deployed on the battlefield.

Until now, there were only suspicions about the presence of North Korean troops. According to Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, information reaching him indicates that 8,000 North Korean troops have been deployed in the Kursk region.
