"They will be a legitimate target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine": The White House has confirmed the deployment of 3,000 troops to North Korea.

In the United States, it is believed that if North Korean troops appear on the front lines, they would be considered legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported during a briefing by John Kirby, a representative of the U.S. National Security Council, as noted by UNN.

Details

According to U.S. information, from early to mid-October, North Korea sent at least 3,000 military personnel to eastern Russia. They arrived by ships from the port of Wonsan to Vladivostok, from where they were dispatched to military training centers.

The White House representative stated that the U.S. currently lacks precise data on whether North Korean troops will be directly involved in combat operations. Nevertheless, he emphasized that such a possibility is a significant concern.

Reminder

South Korean lawmakers declared that North Korea sent 3,000 troops to Russia to support the war against Ukraine. According to their information, it is expected that 10,000 North Korean soldiers will be deployed by December.
