White House expresses concern over reports of North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia

foxnews.com — October 21, 2024, 08:01 PM UTC

Summary: The White House is monitoring reports that North Korean soldiers are being deployed to Russia to support its war in Ukraine. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called this a "highly concerning development" and noted it reflects Russia's growing desperation.

South Korea's intelligence agency claims that 1,500 North Korean special forces were sent to Russia this month. Concerns are rising that this military cooperation could lead to North Korea receiving advanced technology for its nuclear and missile programs.

The U.S. and NATO have not confirmed the reports, but South Korea has protested the military ties between North Korea and Russia. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with global leaders at a BRICS summit, despite his country's isolation due to the ongoing conflict.
