North Korea sends troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine, Seoul says | BBC News
North Korea has started sending troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine, South Korea’s spy agency has said as Seoul warned of a “grave security threat”.
The allegation comes a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he believed 10,000 North Korean soldiers could join the war, based on intelligence information.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol called for a security meeting on Friday and said the international community must respond with “all available means”.
According to the spy agency, 1,500 troops have already arrived in Russia – with anonymous sources telling South Korean media the final figure could be closer to 12,000.

Oh ffs.
Damn putin must be desperate to have soldiers from the same country that couldn't get their own satellite into space ๐ญ
It would seem that WW3 is pretty much in affect!? I could be wrong and i hope i am.Was it not the case that WW2 was not acknowledged as such until a few years in? Im no expert but it seems the battle of ideologies is up and running. โ๏ธ
The US is trying to escalate to WW3.
You will know wars and rumors of wars a Jesus ever so the seeing
Mi 6 Zelensky stories.
What are friends for, US is all over Asian. eg Israel.
What's the problem here ???????? North Korea has a cold war with the USA and South Korea and a partnership with Russia and China, since when do you dictate your enemies alliances and relationships ?
Ive got a gut feeling that kim might soon see ruined cities all over NK as he is one of them asking for unnecessary world conflict for much too long.Hope that the UN AND THE WHO getting their budget ready for all those innocent citizens as that seems to be their specialty,to take care of those who started unnecessary wars first.
We can joke all we want about NK but this is a huge thing. Another country is sending troops to europe….. That is a big thing.
Well, Europe and America have sent troops there as advisors/ trainers.
Just wait if China sends troops.
Ah lads…
Pure weakness
Wasn't it 3 months ago when you first reported about NK in ukraine? No? Weird, they are all over youtube…
Pretty sure the MOD, won't treat the North Koreans very well. Half will be casualties, and the other half, will mass surrendered.
It is essentially a world war at this stage, just not in the classical sense
Where NATO Dogs ๐๐๐
Now end of NATO era Dogs
Take into consideration, you're being lied to at every opportunity
World war contained on Ukrainian soil. Americans and western europeans already there from the beginning.
All countries should join Russia against NATO terrorism and aggression. ๐๐ป if true! But we all know BBC LIES Nonstop.
So ww3 begin…
That means any country can send troops to Ukraine now.
Ok so after 75 years here we go again. After the devastating second world war, i always knew that one stupid man will start world war 3 again where someone have to die again so we're going over there, where someone has to die.

The shame of having to run begging to North Korea! What a loser.
BBC and Zelenski are one coin of two faces. Both are telling us completely false information. No one trusts them. Sad
A lot of these leaders are being controlled by high up evil spirits and all these people on both sides of the military is just sending each other to hell, literally. No one listened to His word, but they will soon.
THESE ISRAELIS ARE VERY ARROGANT PEOPLE. THE WEST BANK IS ARAB LAND, THE STUPID RIGHT WING HERE SUPPORTS THEIR ROBBING OF ANOTHER COUNTRY.
BBC must be absolutely desperate here to be publishing this kind of complete garbage…
Guys, you supported an unwinnable war through sheer hatred for Russia, and got hundreds of thousands of Ukranians killed.. deal with it.
You have signed you own death warrant pal. The USA will NOT put up with your crap. You had better pray Trump is not elected because if he is……goodbye ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Because of Biden so many people were killed, No to Democrats ๐ญ๐ stop two Wars
Dictators always help dictators, but democracies are abandoning Ukraine.
Says the country thats dying
Another narrative forming.
What we'll hear next is: Since North Korean troops are in Ukraine, we can now send troops and it won't be regarded as escalation.
Ukraine desperately needs the west to send troops to fight the Russians. Thank God western leaders despite their rhetorics know suicide when they see one.
Russia does not need North Korean soldiers. They're now advancing rapidly. Ukraine is being crushed. Ukraine needs to surrender now. Its surrender terms will get harder as the war drags on.
"South Korea's spy agency said…." Confirmed by BBC or just mindlessly parroted here?? LOL…
Will they be fighting in the Donbas or at Kursk oblast?
What stops those North Koreans just defecting? Just surrender to Ukraine or try fleeing to poland or romania then head to the southern embessay
Please stop killing…
What are we fighting for! Please stop
So North Korea has not sent 10,000 troops into Ukraine!
