Recent reports indicate that the number of North Korean troops involved in Russian combat operations against Ukraine in the Kursk region has surpassed 11,000, up from the previously reported figure of over 10,000. This information was disclosed by a US State Department spokesperson.
In response to Russia's accusation that the US is escalating the conflict by allowing Ukraine to use US-provided long-range missiles to target Russia, the State Department emphasized that it is Russia that has consistently escalated the conflict. The spokesperson highlighted the increase in North Korean soldiers as evidence of Russia's escalation.
