North Korea's potential deployment of troops to aid Russia in the Ukraine war has raised concerns among G20 nations. While the move is not imminent, assessments suggest that Pyongyang could send up to 100,000 soldiers to support Moscow.
The analysis, based on private discussions, indicates that the deployment would likely occur in batches with troops rotating over time. This approach would allow North Korea to maintain a presence in the conflict while minimizing the impact on its domestic military capabilities.
Ukraine's ambassador to South Korea, Dmytro Ponomarenko, has also expressed concerns about North Korean involvement. He estimates that up to 15,000 troops could be deployed to Russia's Kursk region and potentially occupied areas of eastern Ukraine, with rotations every few months.
The deepening alliance between Russia and North Korea has raised concerns about the potential escalation of the Ukraine war. The deployment of North Korean troops would provide Russia with additional manpower and could further complicate the conflict.

If North Korea decides to send troops, it could help stabilize the regions they occupy. We need troops on the ground.
