Bloomberg: Moscow And Pyongyang Could Face Big Troubles

Because of North Korean troops at the front.

Russia and North Korea have become so close that Kim Jong-un has sent his troops to participate in the war against Ukraine. However, Moscow and Pyongyang could be in trouble, Bloomberg writes.

No North Korean leader has ever faced a situation where the country's military suffered significant losses while participating in an overseas conflict. One of the key principles of North Korean policy is the priority of the armed forces, which influence almost all aspects of public life.

If the number of North Korean soldiers killed or wounded in Ukraine increases, Kim Jong-un could face serious challenges from the military, which is the basis of his power.

In addition, it could cause discontent among the population, many of whom have close ties to the army.

The involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict in Ukraine could also be a problem for Russia, since it would potentially lead to South Korean intervention.

The development is likely to increase pressure on South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol from the United States and NATO allies to reverse a policy that bars Seoul from providing lethal aid to countries at war.

South Korea has significant stockpiles of weapons and ammunition that Ukraine needs to defend itself against Russian aggression, including millions of artillery shells.
