In a turn that's causing concern worldwide, North Korean soldiers might be headed to Russia, possibly to fight in Ukraine. This wasn't just a worry for Ukraine, but also for its allies like Germany. Germany's defense minister, Boris Pistorius, said this situation could bring international conflicts closer. He was in London with the UK's defense minister, John Healey, when he stated that North Korean troops in Russia showed a new level of danger in the war.

Estimates suggest around 10, 000 North Korean troops are on their way, with some already arriving. This comes as Russia and Ukraine face soldier shortages, and Russia's turned to countries like North Korea for help. While the US admits there's evidence of these troops, there's no confirmation yet if they'll join the frontline fight.

North Korea, Russia's ally, has already helped with weapons. Ukraine's intelligence chief sees North Korea as the most dangerous ally. Germany and the UK are worried but haven't fully confirmed the troop reports. South Korea condemned the move, and Russia denies it. There's even a hotline encouraging North Korean soldiers to surrender.
