North Korean Troop Deployment to Russia Raises International Alarm

The U.S., South Korea, and Japan urge cessation of North Korea's military cooperation with Russia amid concerns over Ukraine conflict involvement.

National Security Advisors from the U.S., South Korea, and Japan have expressed grave concerns over North Korea's deployment of troops to Russia, potentially for use in Ukraine.
This deployment is part of a broader pattern of deepening military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, including the transfer of arms and ballistic missiles.
Such actions violate United Nations Security Council resolutions and expand the security implications of the conflict beyond Europe into the Indo-Pacific region.
The three nations reaffirmed their commitment to support Ukraine, including efforts to bolster its energy infrastructure and hold Russia accountable for its actions.
The advisors also discussed strengthening trilateral cooperation in areas such as technology, economic security, and maritime security across the Indo-Pacific.
