Pentagon confirms no new limits on Ukraine's use of US arms despite North Korea's military deployment
Summary: The Pentagon announced that the U.S. will not impose new limits on Ukraine's use of American weapons, even if North Korea joins the conflict. This comes as NATO reports North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia's Kursk region.
The Pentagon estimates that around 10,000 North Korean troops are now in eastern Russia for training, an increase from 3,000 last week. Some of these troops may be moving closer to Ukraine, raising concerns about their potential involvement in combat.
Ukrainian officials have warned about the North Korean deployment and called for stronger responses from allies. The Kremlin has not denied the presence of North Korean troops, while NATO highlights the growing military cooperation as a threat to regional security.
