According to Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian intelligence, nearly 11,000 North Korean troops will be ready to fight in Ukraine by November 1.
Mr. Budanov revealed that more than 2,500 troops have already been deployed in the Russian regions of Kursk and Bryansk, where Ukrainian forces made significant gains last August. Ukrainian troops still control several localities in these regions.
“We do not yet have a comprehensive view of the situation,” Budanov said.
Earlier this week, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that North Korea was considering sending not only military personnel, but also specialists in various fields to help Russia.
According to South Korea, 1,500 North Korean soldiers have already been sent to Russia via the port of Vladivostok, where they have been assigned to different regiments currently fighting on the Ukrainian front.
Intelligence agencies also say that these North Korean soldiers were given false identities, as well as Russian uniforms and weapons.
