Moscow and Pyongyang officially

In line with Soviet information warfare practices, Russia and North Korea have long denied that North Korean troops are fighting against Ukraine. But last week, state-owned media organs in Moscow and Pyongyang officially acknowledged that North Korean combat formations have been operating in the Russian region of Kursk. This change might indicate that North Korean troops will play an expanded role in the war. Multiple political indicators support this conclusion. North Korea’s state news agency, KCNA, recently described the Ukrainian military as “neo-Nazi,” echoing rhetoric often used by Russian officials to justify the invasion. The news agency also referenced article 4—the joint war clause—of the mutual defense treaty recently signed by Moscow and Pyongyang. สล็อต
