NORTH KOREA will back Russia until it achieves victory in the Ukraine war, Pyongyang’s Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said today during talks in Moscow with her Russian counterpart.

The meeting followed an allegation by the United States that North Korea has deployed about 10,000 troops to Russia to fight Ukrainian forces.

President Joe Biden’s administration said on Thursday that some 8,000 North Korean soldiers are now in Russia’s Kursk region, near the border with Ukraine, and are preparing to help the Kremlin’s war effort in the coming days.
