‘Dangerous’: North Korea sending troops to Ukraine causes alarm worldwide

Members of the United Nations (UN) Security Council expressed alarm on Monday, following South Korea’s spy agency reporting last week that North Korea has shipped 1,500 special forces troops to Russia, in preparation for combat training against Ukraine. “If true, this marks a dangerous and highly concerning development, and an obvious deepening of the DPRK-Russia military relationship. We are consulting with our allies and partners on the implications of such a dramatic move,” deputy U.S. ambassador to the UN Robert Wood said.
