Are North Korean troops fighting for Russia against Ukraine?
However, Russia has dismissed the allegation that North Korean personnel are in Russia. While Ukraine and South Korea have not made public any evidence to back their claims, experts say that North Korean military presence in Ukraine is plausible. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who rarely makes foreign trips, visited Russia in September 2023 and invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit North Korea. In June, Putin made his first state visit to North Korea in 24 years, and Russia and North Korea signed a mutual defence pact. On Tuesday, tensions spiked in the Korean Peninsula when North Korea blew up sections of roads near the South Korean border.
