The North Korean troops dispatched to Russia now have an opportunity to make a choice for freedom
World Institute for North Korea Studies Director Chung Eui-sung (North Korean defector) Russia, which initially denied the presence of North Korean troops on its soil, has finally acknowledged their deployment. During a press conference at the BRICS summit on the 24th of last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin indirectly confirmed reports of North Korean troop dispatches by saying, “What we do with North Korea is our business.” Additionally, on the 1st, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed gratitude to North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui in Moscow, highlighting the “very close relationship” between Russian and North Korean special services.
