The participation of North Korean military forces in the war on russia\u2019s side poses a threat not only to Ukraine but also to Western countries.<\/p>\n
“The West must understand that this is not just about Ukraine, it is a matter of global confrontation. The axis of evil\u2014Iran, russia, and North Korea\u2014creates flashpoints around the world: the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula,” said Andriy Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation and an officer of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“With human resources from North Korea, russia will be able to build up reserves, and in 4-6 years, it could be ready to wage war against the West, NATO, and the Baltic states,” said Kovalenko.<\/p>\n
