Russian President Vladimir Putin has said it is up to Moscow how to run its mutual defense clause with Pyongyang when asked on Oct. 24 about North Korean troops being sent to Russia.
Growing intelligence reports from multiple countries indicate that North Korean troops are in Russia and preparing to fight in Ukraine. On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv expects the first North Korean troops to be deployed to combat zones by the end of the month.
