Putin dismisses UK security claims and defends actions in Ukraine during press conference
Summary: During a press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims from MI5 about Russian agents causing chaos in the UK as "utter rubbish." He was challenged by BBC journalist Steve Rosenberg regarding the impact of the Ukraine war on Russia's security.
Putin argued that NATO's expansion in Eastern Europe threatens Russia and claimed it is unfair that Russia's concerns have been ignored. He criticized Western actions in Ukraine, suggesting they violate international law and compromise global security.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that North Korean troops are expected to be deployed to combat zones in Ukraine as early as October 27-28. Ukrainian intelligence indicated that North Korean units are already present in Russia's Kursk region, with training ongoing.
