For the first time, North Korea has admitted to deploying nearly 14,000 troops to assist Russia in the ongoing war in Ukraine. The state news agency KCNA reported that these troops were deployed under a mutual defense treaty, as ordered by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The deployment allegedly contributed to Moscow's efforts to reclaim territory lost to Ukrainian forces in the border region of Kursk. Russia also confirmed the presence of North Korean soldiers, despite Ukraine disputing claims of their military retreats from certain regions.
Under the order of the head of state, the sub-units of the armed forces of the Republic regarded the territory of Russia as the one of their country and proved the firm alliance between the two countries.
North Korea is estimated to have sent nearly 14,000 troops to fight alongside Russian forces.
