Reports of North Korean troops joining Russia's war in Ukraine have raised concerns about a potential escalation. While Moscow denies involvement, sources suggest 3,000 North Koreans may be forming units in Russia's Far East. The move could strengthen ties between Pyongyang and the Kremlin. Ukrainian officials have expressed concern, while US officials see it as "a new level of desperation by Russia". Experts doubt the effectiveness of incorporating large numbers of North Korean soldiers into Russian forces.
