Dmytro Ponomarenko noted that Kyiv anticipates the deployment of 15,000 North Korean troops in Russia's Kursk region, rotating every few months, suggesting ongoing military support.
The partnership between Kim and Putin, if solidified through troop deployments, could drastically alter the security dynamics not just in Ukraine, but also in the Indo-Pacific.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz labeled the potential deployment of North Korean troops as a "grave escalation" and plans to discuss it with China's Xi Jinping during the G-20.
Analysts indicate that the deployment may not be immediate and would likely involve rotating troops, signaling a long-term collaboration as the conflict evolves.
