North Korean troops nearing Ukrainian front lines
North Korean soldiers have been moved closer to Ukraine and may join the fighting in a few weeks, warns the Pentagon. During a press conference, a representative from the United States Department of Defense confirmed that about 10,000 of Kim Jong Un's soldiers are already in Russia.

Pentagon representative Sabrina Singh stated that, according to the United States, North Korea has already sent about 10,000 soldiers to Russia.
These soldiers are currently undergoing training and are expected to be included in the "military operation against Ukraine" within the "next few weeks."
Kim's soldiers moving closer to the border
According to American intelligence, some soldiers from North Korea are already near the border with Ukraine.
"We are increasingly concerned about the fact that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat operations or send them to support Putin's troops against Ukrainian forces in the Russian Kursk region," Singh emphasized.
As noted by the Pentagon spokeswoman, Department Chief Lloyd Austin warned a few days ago that if North Korean soldiers cross into Ukrainian territory, they will be treated the same as the Russian army, and thus as a party to the conflict.
