U.S. pledges no limits on weapons for Ukraine
The Pentagon says it won’t restrict Ukraine’s use of U.S. weapons, even as North Korean troops head toward the Russian front.
NATO reports that North Korean military units are now stationed in Russia’s Kursk region, fuelling Western fears of escalation.
With 10,000 North Korean troops reportedly deployed to eastern Russia, experts worry this could shore up Russia’s battlefield losses.
NATO’s Secretary-General called the Russia-North Korea alliance a serious threat to both Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security.
President Biden agreed, saying the developments in eastern Europe are “very dangerous.”
The Pentagon believes some North Korean soldiers are already on the move near Ukraine’s border, possibly supporting combat operations.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister says Kyiv has been warning allies about this threat for weeks.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon remains cautious, noting they don’t yet have full details on the North Korean troop movements.
With tensions rising on both sides, the international spotlight is firmly back on Ukraine.
