North Korea plans to send up to 100,000 troops to support Russia in Ukraine

North Korea may send up to 100,000 troops to support Russia in its ongoing war in Ukraine. This follows the deployment of 10,000 North Korean soldiers already on the battlefield. Reports suggest that these troops could be rotated rather than sent all at once. The potential deployment comes amid closer ties between North Korea and Russia. Concerns have been raised about the readiness of North Korean soldiers, with a defector warning they may be used as "human shields" and could desert once they reach the front lines. In related developments, U.S. President Joe Biden has approved the use of American-made missiles for strikes inside Russia, potentially targeting the Kursk region soon. This decision could escalate tensions further in the conflict.
