North Korea joins Russian conflict while US changes missile policy for Ukraine
North Korea sends military help to Russia including troops and artillery systems. US responds by allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles for strikes inside Russian territory
South Koreas intelligence reports that Kim Jong Unʼs government has sent more artillery equipment to Russia in late-24 (while thousands of North-Korean soldiers are now in active combat roles)
Moscow quickly responded to the situation: after Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to hit Russian targets with american-made long-range missiles. Russian officials said this choice adds “fuel to the fire“ of the on-going situation
The US decision to give Ukraine more strike options came as a direct answer to North-Koreas involvement in the conflict. American policy-makers pointed out that Pyongyangs military support (which includes both weapons and personnel) changed the whole dynamic of current events; this led Washington to re-think its approach
