The US Department of Defense has not yet confirmed the sending of North Korean troops to Ukraine.
The US Department of Defense has yet to see evidence that North Korea sent its engineer troops in support of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said this in a briefing.
“I had nothing to do with it,” he said.
At the same time, Singh emphasized that the United States is aware of the DPRK’s position regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“We certainly know that North Korea is supporting Russia’s efforts in Ukraine through various military support, but I don’t have any information about specific troops being sent to Russia today,” the deputy spokesman said. of the Pentagon.
Let’s recall that earlier South Korean media announced that North Korea, as part of an agreement with Russia on “automatic military assistance,” will send its engineering troops to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine’s Donetsk region. It was mentioned that they could reach Ukraine in July.
As you know, on June 19, the leaders of Russia and DPRK Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un signed an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
ISW analysts said they have not yet seen reports indicating that North Korean troops intend to participate in combat operations in Ukraine.
