Washington. America has made it clear by warning Russia that if Russia fields North Korean troops, Ukraine will fight the war with our weapons. NATO says that 10,000 North Korean soldiers are going to join the war on behalf of Russia. However, Russia has been denying these allegations. US Defense Headquarters Pentagon has warned that if North Korea joins Russia in the Ukraine war, Kiev will not be banned from using American weapons. The Pentagon has issued this warning after NATO’s statement in which it confirmed the presence of North Korean troops in Russia. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte made this statement after meeting the South Korean delegation. On the other hand, a delegation led by North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Son Hui has left for Russia. However, he did not reveal anything about the purpose of this visit. From the Russian side, two big cities of Ukraine, Kiev and Kharkiv, were attacked with missiles, drones and bombs, in which four people died and 15 were injured. About 20 nearby houses were also damaged in the attack. These included the historical building Derzprom, most of which was destroyed. Built in 1920, the building is one of the most famous landmarks of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city.
This development is very dangerous: Biden
US President Joe Biden said that this development is very dangerous. The Pentagon has estimated that 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed for training in eastern Russia. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said, a part of these troops has already reached near Ukraine. We are increasingly concerned that Russia intends to use these troops in combat or to support operations against Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, near the Ukrainian border.
Russia captured two Ukrainian cities
Russia has claimed control of two cities in eastern Ukraine. Along with this, there are indications that Russian forces are advancing at the fastest pace in at least a year. Russia said on Tuesday that its forces had captured the town of Selidov. Before the war the population of this city was 20 thousand. Russia had intensified attacks since last week to capture this city. Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov said that his country’s army has captured the city of Hirnik. The population of this town, 12 kilometers away from Selidov, was 10 thousand before the war. The Ukrainian military did not comment directly on the Russian claims. However, it reported 31 clashes on the Pokrovsk front during the past 24 hours, including clashes near Selidov.
