NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reported that the North Atlantic Alliance cannot currently confirm the participation of the DPRK's military forces in the war in Ukraine on the side of Russia. He said this during a joint press conference with Estonia Prime Minister Kristen Michal.
Secretary -General noted that the information meeting will take place in NATO early next week, as South Korean President Jun Jol Yol gave an affirmative answer.
“Then we will see whether North Korea really supports or does not support the criminal Russian war in Ukraine. If this is confirmed, if they really send troops to Ukraine, it will mean a significant escalation, ”Rutte said.
"But now I cannot confirm this before we get the updated information from South Korea early next week," he added.
We will remind, today Zelensky stated that the Russian Federation prepares 12 thousand servicemen from the DPRK for participation in Ukraine.
