Seoul Alarmed Over Alleged Transfer of North Korean Troops to Ukraine Conflict
South Korea has raised concerns over reports of North Korean troops being transferred to Russia to participate in the conflict in Ukraine. The US and NATO have not been able to confirm these allegations yet. The Russian ambassador in Seoul was summoned to address the situation, emphasizing that the cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang is within the boundaries of international law.
South Korean officials have expressed their grave stance on the matter and called for the immediate withdrawal of North Korean troops from the conflict zone. They strongly condemned the alleged military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. On the other hand, the Kremlin spokesperson dismissed these claims as baseless speculations.
