Kyiv • UNN
Almost 3,800 DPRK citizens entered Russia “for training purposes” in the third quarter of 2023. This coincides with intelligence reports of North Korean military personnel being sent to Russia.
The increased inflow of “students” from North Korea to Russia comes amid reports from Western and South Korean intelligence agencies about the dispatch of DPRK military personnel.
Writes of the UNN with reference to of the Mediaphone.
North Korean soldiers who were deployed to Russia to support the aggressive war against Ukraine could officially state that they were studying when entering Russia. In the third quarter of this year, 3,765 North Koreans traveled to Russia “for training purposes.” This is a record number.
This “coincides with reports of North Korean troops being deployed in the country,” the report says.
Previously, the number of North Korean students in Russia was much lower - for example, in April of this year, according to the Russian authorities, there were 130 of them.
Recall
The President of Ukraine announced the escalation of the war due to North Korea's participation in hostilities. Zelenskyy emphasized that concessions to the aggressor are unacceptable for Ukraine and suicidal for Europe.
