According to British journalists, North Korea may send a total of up to 100,000 troops to support Russia's war against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Large-scale military support for the DPRK is possible under the condition of strengthening the alliance with Russia.
  • North Korean soldiers may be sent to Ukraine in groups with troop rotation.
  • The deepening of cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang is being discussed at the international level.

The DPRK can send many more soldiers to the Russian Federation

According to anonymous sources, Kim Jong Un's regime has the ability to deploy up to 100,000 military personnel to support the Russian Federation.

This is likely to happen if the alliance between North Korea and Russia continues to strengthen.

Journalist insiders draw attention to the fact that such a step is not inevitable.

In addition, it is emphasized that military support of this scale, if it occurs, will be provided in groups with the rotation of troops over time, and not as part of a single deployment.

The issue of deepening cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang will be discussed in detail by several allies at the G-20 summit in Brazil this week, including during a meeting between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Anonymous sources claim that the German leader plans to increase pressure on the Chinese leader to try to stop Putin.

Why does Russia have North Korean soldiers?

As the journalists managed to find out, a 50,000-strong group of Russian and North Korean troops plans to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in the Kursk region.

As of today, the Russian army is actively attacking Ukrainian positions in Kurshchyna with rocket strikes and artillery fire. Despite this, the large-scale offensive of the occupiers has not yet begun.

Ukrainian officials said they expect such an attack involving North Korean troops in the coming days.

In addition, it is emphasized that North Korean soldiers are currently training together with Russian troops in the extreme western part of the Kursk region.

Ukraine still has strong defenses in the Kursk region and may be able to hold those territories, at least for a while, one of the Western insiders said.

According to NBC News, US President Donald Trump's team has offered Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky a 50% ownership stake in the country's mineral resources, with the added bonus of sending US troops to Ukraine if a ceasefire agreement is reached with Russia.

Points of attention

  • This deal is a way for Ukraine to repay the US for billions of dollars in weapons and support.
  • Zelensky has so far refused to sign the document because he wants to carefully analyze all its details.

The US wants 50% ownership of Ukrainian minerals

According to journalist insiders, the proposed ownership deal will not so much be a payment for minerals as a way for Kyiv to repay the United States for billions of dollars in weapons and support.

It is indicated that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has already introduced the Ukrainian leader to this proposal in the draft contract he brought to their meeting.

Despite this, it is known that Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to sign the document, explaining this by the fact that he needed to familiarize himself with it and consult with others.

According to the head of state, he and his team "will do everything to study all the details of the document" before arriving in Munich, where he met on Friday with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of a global security conference.

What is also important to understand is that many Ukrainian minerals are located in territories currently occupied by Russia.
