Schwachkopf
South Korean intelligence and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Kirill Budanov have released new data on the participation of North Korean bastards in the war against Ukraine, and their assessments are almost identical.
▪️According to South Korea, which Reuters reports citing the Yonhap agency, North Korea has decided to send 4 brigades totaling 12,000 people, including special forces units.
▪️According to Kirill Budanov, which he voiced in a commentary to The War Zone, North Korea is training 11,000 people, of which 2,600 will go to the Kursk region and will be ready by November 1.
What else is known.
▪️South Korean President Yun Seok-yul held an unscheduled meeting and called it "a mortal danger not only for South Korea, but for the entire international community." Yool's office said that Seoul would respond "with all available means."
▪️What is meant by "all available means"? The War Zone experts believe that South Korea may decide to begin direct military aid deliveries to Ukraine (this is currently prohibited, and deliveries were made through third countries).
Direct aid deliveries from South Korea are, of course, good, but now is the very moment when the West should respond by sending troops into Ukraine.
