North Korea has sent 1,500 special forces soldiers to Russia to support Moscow’s efforts in Ukraine, with thousands more set to follow. This marks North Korea’s first overseas military deployment and solidifies its alliance with Russia. Experts say the move stems from a June 2024 Kim-Putin deal and could strengthen North Korea’s position in global affairs. The soldiers are expected to aid Russia in holding occupied territories and may signal a shift in security dynamics on the Korean Peninsula, further complicating regional tensions.
