Pyongyang accused of sending troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine
South Korea’s spy agency said last week that North Korea had shipped 1,500 special forces personnel to Russia ’s far east for training and acclimatising at local military bases likely for combat in the war in Ukraine.
“We would consider supplying weapons for defensive purposes as part of the step-by-step scenarios, and if it seems they are going too far, we might also consider offensive use,” the presidential official told reporters.OPW to defend ballooning cost of modular homes for people fleeing UkraineRussia’s advance in eastern Ukraine dims evacuees’ hopes of return home
Mr Yoon’s office had said it would revisit the possibility of giving weapons to Ukraine after North Korea and Russia signed a mutual defence treaty in June, but the senior official’s remarks signal Seoul’s most proactive position toward arming Ukraine. The NSC said Pyongyang was acting like a “criminal organisation” by sending young men to fight as “Russia’s mercenaries” while ignoring its people’s livelihood and human rights at home.
