North Korea sent to the Russian Federation to participate in the war for at least 3,000 soldiers

To spread: In addition to the military, the DPRK also supplies to Russia rockets, ammunition and artillery equipment. In January and February 2025, the Korean People's Democratic Republic has probably sent at least three thousand of its soldiers to the Russian Federation to support Russia's war against Ukraine. About it reports Yonhap with reference to the South Korean military.

"From about 11,000 North Korean soldiers sent to Russia, 4000 were injured, and apparently about 3000 or more were sent in January and February," - said the Joint Committee of South Korea headquarters. In addition to the military, the country continues to supply rockets, ammunition and artillery equipment to Russia, in particular: according to the South Korean military, North Korea seems to be technological modernization to launch another military satellite.

There are currently no signs of such launch. We will remind, in early February it became known that North Korean soldiers were still involved in the war in Ukraine. However, this is not the case as before. Later, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Kirill Budanov said that the involvement of North Korean troops is humiliating for Russia, but beneficial for North Korea. Their army has received a combat experience in the war against Ukraine, which has not had since the 1950s.
