“North Korea is set to ship off 30,000 more troops to help Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, tripling the number of soldiers it has given Moscow, Kyiv’s intelligence network warned. After sending nearly 12,000 soldiers to help Russia regain the Kursk region earlier this year, Pyongyang is planning to bolster its presence along the frontlines in the coming months to enable ‘large-scale offensive operations,’ CNN reported. … The assessment and report mirrors South Korea’s warning last week that Pyongyang was primed to deploy additional troops and weapons to Russia in July or August. Seoul’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) said Russia was prepping for a large-scale assault against Ukraine within the next two months, with Moscow set to use thousands of North Korean fighters to make it possible.” (07/02/25)
