South Korea announces possible deployment of North Korean troops to Ukraine

North Korea may send its troops to fight on Russia's side in Ukraine, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun said, expressing concern that Moscow and Pyongyang may have entered into a military alliance that includes mutual commitments to support each other.

"Since Russia and North Korea have signed a treaty similar to a military alliance, the likelihood that North Korean troops will be deployed to support Russia in Ukraine is very high.", the head of the South Korean defense department noted.

Kim Yong Hyun also stressed that such a development could significantly complicate the already tense situation in the region.
