North Korea benefits from its troops fighting alongside Russia against Ukraine. Gaining experience, the DPRK is becoming more capable of waging war against its neighbors.
This was stated on Monday at the UN Security Council by Dorothy Camille Shea, who is the Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, The Guardian reports.
DPRK strengthens its military power with the help of Russia's war against Ukraine
Shea confirmed that there are more than 12,000 North Korean soldiers on the territory of Russia and that in December they began fighting against the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. This, in turn, allows the DPRK troops to gain experience.
"(North Korea — Ed.) benefits greatly from receiving Russian military equipment, technology and experience, which makes it more capable of waging war against its neighbors," Shea warned.
At the same time, she added that the DPRK will likely seek to use these improvements to promote contracts for the sale of weapons and military training around the world.
As a reminder, the other day in an interview, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that North Korean troops, fighting with Russia against Ukraine, have already lost 3,800 soldiers. We are talking about those who have already died and the wounded.
We also wrote that on January 7, the Special Operations Forces reported that they had destroyed a group of DPRK soldiers in the Kursk region. The found belongings of one of the dead may indicate that he was an officer.
