A new era will come if the DPRK soldiers die for Putin: the US will release intelligence - NYT

According to US intelligence, the Russian Federation received about 2,500 North Korean soldiers. But there were no estimates of how much it could come, or how well they could act in new conditions. Pentagon Lloyd Austin confirmed on Wednesday, October 23, that North Korea troops were sent to Russia to continue to join the fight against Ukraine - this is a serious change in the Kremlin's military efforts. About it writes The New York Times.

Austin called the presence of North Korea in Ukraine a "very serious" escalation, the consequences of which both Europe and Asia feel. What the role of the North Korean military in Ukraine will be to find out, Austin said in an interview with journalists at a military base in Italy. No details about the number of troops who are already located or the amount expected to arrive.

These statements were made against the backdrop of reporting that US intelligence services reported preparation for the publication of intelligence, including satellite images of displacements of warships from North Korea to educational districts in Vladivostok and north in other Russian territory. According to intelligence staff, servicemen have not arrived in Ukraine so far. According to them, about 2500 North Korean soldiers were sent.

But there were no estimates of how much it could arrive, or how well they can act in the territory where the DPRK conscripts have never been fighting before, and in conditions where the servicemen who are fighting with them speak another language. Experts from Russia and North Korea called it a turning point. For the North Korean leader, Kim Jong -in war in Ukraine becomes a way to get out of geopolitical isolation.

For the first time in decades, for the assets owned by Pyongyang, a large country is ready to pay. According to experts, long -term agreements may provide for the improvement of the reach of intercontinental ballistic missiles of the DPRK. American intelligence services believe that Kim Jong -in tries to make it clear that his arsenal of nuclear weapons can reach US cities.
