About 10,000 North Korean troops are being sent to train in eastern Russia amid growing concerns that Moscow may intend to deploy them in combat, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Oct. 28.
During Monday’s press conference, Singh said a portion of the soldiers from North Korea are already on the move and getting closer to Ukraine. She said Ukraine has told the United States that Kyiv has created a buffer zone in Kursk and intends to hold it.
