North Korean troops may join Russia's Ukraine conflict
North Korea has deployed elite soldiers to support Russian forces in the Ukraine conflict, with around 8,500 troops currently on Russian territory mainly guarding the border in the Kursk region. While not involved in active combat, North Korean troops, from the Storm Corps, suffered heavy casualties during their initial campaign and have gained combat experience. The deployment has provided North Korea with substantial economic benefits, including arms sales and hard currency, and strengthened its geopolitical ties with Russia and China. Despite heavy losses, Pyongyang appears willing to continue sending soldiers as long as it remains economically advantageous.
