North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un has sent troops to Russia, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed the troop movement in a statement, saying it would be a “a very, very serious issue” if North Korean troops deploy to Ukraine. South Korean intelligence stated that some 3,000 troops were sent to Russia and are currently being trained on drones and other equipment.
“What exactly are they doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out”, Austin said.
Intelligence officials in both South Korea and Ukraine had previously stated that North Korean troops were being transferred to Russia.
