North Korean troops are reportedly being sent to aid the Russian military in its invasion of Ukraine, with the Pentagon suggesting that they may be used as 'cannon fodder.' The Pentagon press secretary, Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, acknowledged the possibility of North Korean military personnel entering Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory, cautioning that it is a situation worth monitoring closely.
Reports indicate that North Korea plans to deploy an engineering corps to support Russian operations in Ukraine, following a recent defensive pact between Russia and North Korea. This pact obligates both nations to provide military assistance to each other in the event of armed invasion from external forces.
