Ukraine Troops

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday said Ukraine needed permission from its allies to fire long-range missiles into Russia in the face of a North Korean troop deployment there.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Thursday revealed that approximately 10,000 North Korean soldiers are currently in Russia, with around 8,000 deployed in the Kursk region.

North Korean troops who go to fight in Ukraine alongside Russia "will return in body bags," the US deputy ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday, delivering a warning to leader Kim Jong Un by name.

Russia's envoy to the United Nations on Wednesday questioned why its allies like North Korea could not help Moscow in its war against Ukraine given Western countries claim the right to help Kyiv.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday Ukraine should strike back if North Korean troops crossed into Ukraine, adding he was concerned by the presence of North Korean troops in the Kursk region in Russia.

Russia's defence ministry said Tuesday that its forces had captured the eastern Ukrainian town of Selydove as Moscow's troops advance closer to the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk.

President Zelensky on Monday said that he expects 12,000 North Korean soldiers on Russian territory "soon".

North Korea has sent some 10,000 troops to train in Russia, the Pentagon said Monday, more than tripling the previous estimate as NATO warned of a dangerous expansion of the Ukraine war.

President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was Russia's business whether or not it decided to use North Korean troops and said that if Ukraine wanted to join NATO then Moscow could do what it wanted to ensure its own security.

North Korea has been accused of sending thousands of troops to Russia, potentially to take part in the war in Ukraine.

The first units of North Korean troops trained in Russia have been deployed in the Kursk region, a Russian border area, Ukraine's military intelligence service said.

Russia is using North Korean troops as "cannon fodder" for its war in Ukraine, Seoul said Thursday, slamming the controversial deployment and warning it "won't sit idle".

At least 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to Russia and are training there, the United States said Wednesday, warning that they would become legitimate targets for Kyiv if they engage in combat in Ukraine.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday there is evidence North Korea has sent troops to Russia, but that the purpose of the deployment is still unknown.

More than 200 wounded troops and civilians have been treated by a network of aesthetic medicine specialists across Ukraine, healing the badly scarred and burned free of charge.
