According to South Korea’s detective agency, North Korea will take up to 12, 000 soldiers to Ukraine in what Seoul described as a “grave security danger.”

Yoon Suk Yeol, president of South Korea, called for a safety meeting on Friday, citing the need for a global response using” all available implies.”
This is presented as evidence that North Korea is providing Russia with weapons, as late demonstrated by the discovery of a weapon in the Poltava region of Ukraine.
Moscow and Pyongyang have also been deepening their cooperation in recent months. Last week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un greeted Russian President Vladimir Putin on his birthday, calling him his “closest comrade”.
Friday’s security conference was attended by important officers from South Korea’s National Security Office, the Ministry of National Defence, and the National Intelligence Service, Yoon’s department said.
The participants “decided never to ignore the situation and to simultaneously address it with the international community using all means obtainable,” it said.
The National Intelligence Service’s claim comes days after Russian military intelligence resources claimed that Russia’s army is creating a system of North Koreans.
