At yesterdays UN Security Council meeting Robert Wood‚ deputy US Ambassador shared intel about eight-thousand North Korean troops stationed in Russias Kursk region. The US rep asked a straight-forward question to his Russian colleague: about DPRK forces presence - which got no response
Moscow keeps quiet about these claims while North Korea changed its tune: first denying then saying its ok to send troops (which they think follows international rules). The situation got more real when Ukraine pointed out three NK generals leading their countrys forces in Russia
About 2.5 years after Russias attack on Ukraine and roughly a year since Ukrainian forces pushed into Kursk area many countries - including US‚ Britain and South Korea say this troop deployment breaks UN rules. The whole thing breaks both sanctions against NK and UNʼs main charter
Geng Shuang‚ Chinas deputy UN Ambassador got into a heated back-and-forth with US over helping Russias military industry. While US says Chinas support is key to keeping the war going China hits back saying they dont give weapons to anyone
China cannot credibly claim to be a voice for peace when it enables Russia to wage the largest war in Europe in decades
Just day before this meeting US put sanctions on almost 400 people and companies from different countries (China included) who help Russia avoid previous restrictions. The Security Council met cause Russia wanted to talk about Western weapons going to Ukraine
