Lloyd Austin‚ U.S. Defense Secretary said he couldnt confirm reports about North Korea sending troops to Russia for possible Ukraine deployment‚ but noted such a move would be worrying if true. This statement came roughly a year ago

Volodymyr Zelenskiy‚ Ukraines President accused North Korea of deploying officers alongside Russia and getting ready to send 10‚000 soldiers to help Moscows war effort. This accusation was made approximately a year ago

However Mark Rutte‚ NATO chief‚ said there was no proof of Pyongyangs presence at this stage. He made this statement around the same time as Zelenskiys accusation

Russia and North Korea both deny claims that North Korea may have sent some military personnel to help Russia against Ukraine. These denials have been consistent since the allegations first surfaced

The situation remains unclear‚ with conflicting reports and lack of concrete evidence. Its important to note that the information is based on reports from about a year ago‚ and the current status may have changed
