Kim Jong -in frightens the event - which means the involvement of the DPRK troops in Ukraine on the side of

President Zelensky stated that North Korea supplies not only weapons but also personnel to military forces and stressed that in such circumstances, Kyiv relations with partners need development. What kind of development, taking into account the DPRK factor in the Russo-Ukrainian War, could be released, found out the focus. In his traditional video, on Sunday, October 13, Volodymyr Zelenskyy focused on the cooperation of Moscow and Pyongyan.

"We see that the alliance between Russia and regimes such as in North Korea is growing. It is not just about the transfer of weapons. It is actually the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupier's military forces," the President stressed. The head of state also added that in such circumstances, "our relations with partners need development and the front - more support.

" "When we talk about greater farming for Ukraine and a more decisive supply for our strength, it is not just a list of military means. It is an increase in pressure on an aggressor that will be stronger for Russia than they can withstand. Zelensky summed up.

Shortly before the President publicly announced the actual participation in the Russo-Ukrainian War of DPRK soldiers, the American Institute for War Study (ISW) also reported that North Korean soldiers are already fighting in Ukraine and several thousand more than thousands of the DPRK are currently undergoing training in Russia.

It is noted that the Russian military command may transfer them to the front line by the end of this year or to the border areas of the Russian Federation to release Russian "reserves" to participate in hostilities in the territory of Ukraine.

"The scale of the North Korean group of troops that Russia can deploy on the front line or by which the Russian forces can be released along the border are unclear, but these scenarios can contribute to Russia's efforts to attract additional forces in priority offensive operations in Ukraine and continue the culmination of Russian offensive operations, which began in the summer of 2024.

It should be noted that in June, Putin and Kim Jong -in signed a Treaty on "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership". Among other things, the document provides mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of these countries.

Meanwhile, experts with whom the focus communicated is convinced that, in the presence of political will, Western allies of Ukraine can not only counteract the North Korean factor in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but also use the moment to significantly increase pressure on Russia, including military.

The President of the Center of Globalism "XXI Strategy" Mikhail Gonchar in conversation with Focus notes: "First of all, it should be emphasized that from the end of 2022, North Korea became an ally Without meeting decisive counteraction, the DPRK went on, because the event did not state the fact that Pyongyang in the Russo-Ukrainian War. In 2023, it is officially confirmed that yes, indeed, the DPRK is supplied by Russian ammunition.

" Having emphasized that at this stage, the DPRK can really move to the systematic direction of its military units to Ukraine, the expert stated: "I would not exaggerate the role and importance of the North Korean military, but the fact is: North Korea de facto is directly involved in the war at the war The side of the Russian Federation. And in the spring, French President Emmanuel Macron said, namely the sending of his units to help Ukraine.

Military contingents under the auspices of France to defend the border of Ukraine with Belarus. Mikhail Gonchar emphasizes separately that it would be very appropriate to remove "idiotic restrictions" on the supply of long -range Western weapons, as well as its use, "because Ukraine is in fact fighting with a coalition of three states that help the Russian Federation: DPRK, Iran and Belarus.

" Answering the question of why the Allies, including the United States, did not comment on the role of the DPRK in the Russian-Ukrainian war and whether this position, Mikhail Gonchar, said the following, "This is all the infamous anti-escalating policy of the United States . In the United States, the US will suddenly begin to laugh at Hawaii again. It does not go. By the way, since the 1990s he sees Kim Jong-in perfect He continues his.

The weakness of the West, in particular the United States, according to Michael Gonchar, will be regarded in Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing, "behind it" as proof of their line. "Even if the DPRK goes to any negotiations, it will act in the same spirit in which it acted earlier, helping Russia as much as possible in achieving its goals," the expert sums up.

In turn, the director of the Middle Eastern Studies Center Igor Semivolos in conversation with focus emphasizes: "Obviously, Russia and the DPRK will act in accordance with those agreements they recently signed. At the same time, the process of awareness of new reality is to be understood In the fact that this conflict ceased to be a conflict between Ukraine and Russia and internationalized. In Ukraine along the border, for example, with Belarus.

Projected that such a mirror decision within the North Atlantic Alliance is unlikely to be made, the expert added: "Such steps may be resorted to by some countries and here it is appropriate to mention President Macron, who declared the possibility of the presence of French, as well as troops of other countries in Ukraine" .

Having described this option as quite probable, the expert, while emphasizing that the more realistic outlines of the script would be acquired after the presidential elections in the United States. All actions of the Russian Federation in terms of involvement of the DPRK troops on his side, Igor Semivolos calls the desire of the Kremlin to create a sense of irreversibility of further escalation, "which the West is afraid as a fire.

" If the event and, in particular, the United States in this case "do not give the slack", then this story with the involvement of the DPRK, predicts an expert, will have a continuation in the form of a greater combination of the Armed Forces with the Western troops. Currently, Igor Semivolos states, this case will inevitably be discussed substantially at the nearest meeting of NATO member states, which will take place in Brussels on October 17-18.
