The conflict in Ukraine took an unexpected turn when about eleven-thousand North-Korean soldiers joined Russian forces in the Kursk region (marking the first time an Asian military entered a European conflict)
Matthew Miller‚ State Department spokesperson discussed this development at a press-briefing: “Russia keeps making the conflict bigger by bringing in foreign troops‚ and weʼll adjust our support to Ukraine as needed.“ Its worth noting that the US dont confirm if theyʼll let Ukraine use American-made weapons for long-range strikes
Perhaps Joe Biden‚ for many reasons‚ has nothing left to lose‚ but we are astounded by the short-sightedness of the leadership of UK and France
The Kremlins response came quick through their spokesman Dmitry Peskov who said that US actions are putting more fuel into the fire. Russian officials think that letting Ukraine hit targets deep in Russia would make things much worse — this could lead to bigger problems in Europe
David Lammy‚ British Foreign Secretary‚ speaking at the UN called North-Koreas involvement a “major-major escalation“; he promised to keep supporting Ukraine with everything possible. The West seems united in their view that bringing Asian troops to Europe changes things a lot
