Elon Musk's Voter Giveaway Sparks Debate: Legal or Political Maneuver?

[Social Media]

 

South Korea has urgently called for the immediate withdrawal of North Korean troops allegedly being trained in Russia to fight in Ukraine. The South Korean government summoned Russian ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev to express their concerns over reports that around 1,500 North Korean soldiers, including members of the special forces, have already arrived in Russia, according to Seoul's intelligence agency.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ North Korea 🇰🇵 has joined Russia 🇷🇺 & Iran’s 🇮🇷 war against Ukraine 🇺🇦 - a fact now confirmed by South Korean 🇰🇷 intelligence.

During the meeting, South Korea’s vice-foreign minister Kim Hong-kyun condemned the deployment of North Korean forces and issued a stern warning that Seoul would "respond with all measures available" if the situation escalated further. He emphasized that the presence of North Korean troops in Russia poses a grave threat not only to South Korea but to the international community as well.

 

Although Mr. Zinoviev stated he would convey South Korea’s concerns to Moscow, he reiterated that the cooperation between Russia and North Korea is "within the framework of international law." However, he did not confirm whether North Korean soldiers had indeed been sent to fight alongside Russia’s military forces. Pyongyang has remained silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying the allegations.

 

The growing cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang follows a security pact signed between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in June. The agreement pledges mutual assistance between the two nations in the event of any "aggression" against them. This pact is seen as a significant deepening of military ties between the two countries, further evidenced by Putin's recent introduction of a bill to ratify the agreement.

 

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte described the alleged deployment of North Korean troops to Russia as a "significant escalation" in the Ukraine conflict. In a phone conversation with Rutte, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol urged NATO to explore "concrete countermeasures" and vowed to strengthen security cooperation with Ukraine, NATO, and other allies.

 

British Foreign Minister David Lammy, who is currently visiting Seoul, also weighed in, condemning Russia's actions as "reckless and illegal." He reaffirmed that the UK would work closely with South Korea to develop a coordinated response. The United States and Japan have similarly voiced strong disapproval of the growing military ties between North Korea and Russia.

 

Experts warn that North Korea’s involvement in the conflict could have far-reaching consequences. Moon Seong-mok of the Korea National Strategy Institute noted that this development "could open the door for greater international participation in the conflict, potentially drawing in more countries." He added that increased sanctions and pressure on both Russia and North Korea are likely, but it remains uncertain whether North Korea's involvement will yield any real benefits for either country.

Is Russia withdrawing back to its border a Russian loss? That's what Ukraine wants - and what they want carries the most weight, not third party countries.

 

Russia threatens nuclear armageddon if they face risk of losing territorial sovereignty, so why should Ukraine have to suffer it? If Ukraine wants to negotiate, that's fine. Most countries are not ok with ceding sovereign territory, this should be unsurprising.

UPDATE

 

Another video appeared online showing the presence of North Korean military personnel in Russia's Primorsky Krai.

ASTRA media geolocated the video, which, according to the behind-the-scenes authors, recorded the arrival of North Korean soldiers at a military base. It appears to be military unit 44980 of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division in the village of Sergeyevka in Russia's Primorsky Krai.
