 Vladimir Putin may want to deploy North Korean troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border. Russian President Vladimir Putin may want to deploy North Korean troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border. North Korean expert Sung Yun Lee said this in his statement to Sky News. Putin wants ammunition, anti-tank artillery shells and possibly manpower from North Korea, meaning North Korean soldiers to be stationed in the border area between Russia and Ukraine. Lee said. He justified his claim as follows. Thousands of North Korean workers are still in Russia, despite the UN Security Resolution calling for the forced repatriation of all overseas workers to North Korea. Now, given the heavy losses and sacrifices Russia has made in this war, it needs more manpower. He emphasised that the leader of North Korea neither respects human life nor the life of his people. According to him, the talks between Putin and Kim Jong-un are a utilitarian pragmatic aspect. The expert noted that Kim Jong-un is trying to buy more advanced military technologies from Russia. It should be noted that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un entered Russia by armoured train. Abored his personal bulletproof train, bound for Russia, Kim was joined by top military officials handling his nuclear-capable weapons and ammunition factories, together with an unspecified number of members of the country's ruling party and government. The presence of military officials fuels speculations that the North Korean leader is seeking Russian technology to support his plans to build advanced weapons, including nuclear-powered submarines and spy satellites. On one hand, Putin needs artillery shells for his invasion of Ukraine, something North Korea can produce. Isolated on the world stage, both Moscow and Pyongyang need each other now more than ever.
