The European Union has responded to reports of North Korean troops in Russia, which are undergoing training and are likely to be deployed to participate in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Details: The EU is deeply concerned about the information that North Korea is sending troops to participate in Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.
“This would constitute a serious breach of international law, including the most fundamental principles of the UN Charter. It would be a unilateral hostile act by the DPRK with serious consequences for European and global peace and security,” Borrell added.
In addition, the EU called on the DPRK to “stop providing support to Russia’s illegal war efforts” and drew attention to Moscow’s alarming change in position on nuclear disarmament of the Korean Peninsula.
“The European Union will coordinate with international partners on the matter, including on responses,” the EU’s top diplomat concluded, without specifying what those steps might be.
Background:
- On Wednesday, South Korean intelligence reported that Pyongyang had sent 3,000 troops to Russia to support Russian forces in their war against Ukraine and is also trying to isolate the families of selected soldiers in a certain place to prevent information from spreading.
- The White House later confirmed reports that there are several thousand North Korean troops in Russia and stated that if North Korean troops are drawn into Russia’s war against Ukraine, they would be considered legitimate targets, just like Russian troops.

“The European Union will coordinate with international partners on the matter, including on responses,”
Yeah, of course you will. Another round of hot air expelled while Ukrainians are dying.
The EU is deeply alarmed! That shows the ruskies and norks how strong the EU can respond. The next level will be stomping feets on the ground.
Finger wagging comes before stomping. No NATO country needs approval from NATO to send troops, weapons or anything else to help Ukraine. These cowards are making themselves look ridiculous by hiding behind the NATO excuse.
I think even the muscovy rat is furious about NATO being so chicken shit, because his lies about NATO being a danger looks quite ridiculous … and outs it as a blatant lie.
The criteria set by Macron for the deployment of his armed forces in Ukraine, was long ago met.
Yet nothing has been heard since. Not even the arrival of the norks.
I’m afraid he’s made himself look silly.
Macron is in bad company with other silly-looking Western leaders. None – I repeat – NONE are non-silly.
