Ukraine reports clashes with North Korean troops in Russia raise global instability concerns

irishtimes.com — November 6, 2024, 07:01 PM UTC

Ukraine, the U.S., and South Korea report that over 10,000 North Korean troops are now in Russia, raising concerns about the impact on the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Ukraine's president described the situation as a new source of global instability.

Clashes have occurred between North Korean and Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. Ukraine's defense minister anticipates the deployment of five North Korean units alongside Russian troops, while Ukraine continues to seek more military support from allies.

In a recent operation, Ukraine claims to have killed or captured over 20,000 Russian soldiers and destroyed significant military equipment since August. This operation disrupted Russian plans to establish a buffer zone in the Sumy region.
