N. Korea Likely to Deploy Additional Troops to Russia in July or August: Spy Agency
- South Korea's National Intelligence Service indicated on Thursday that Pyongyang is expected to deploy more personnel to Russia during July or August to aid in the conflict in Ukraine.
- This development follows growing military cooperation since the mutual defense treaty signed by Putin and Kim Jong Un in June 2024 and prior North Korean troop deployments starting last fall.
- On June 17, Sergei Shoigu, Russia's Security Council Secretary, held talks with Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang and revealed that North Korea intends to deploy 6,000 personnel—including 5,000 military builders and 1,000 combat engineers—to the Kursk border area to assist with mine clearance and rebuilding efforts.
- Shoigu announced that Kim agreed to dispatch a force of several thousand personnel, comprising combat engineers, to assist with demining and reconstruction, while North Korea has provided Russia with more than 10 million rounds of ammunition.
- The additional troop deployment indicates a deepening military alignment between North Korea and Russia amid ongoing cooperation in the Ukraine conflict and mutual military and economic support.
