The head of the Pentagon told reporters about this during his visit to Rome. “What exactly are they doing there? This remains to be seen.
If they intend to take part in this war on behalf of Russia, then this is a very, very serious problem.” He warned that this would have an impact not only on Europe, but also on the situation in the Indo-Pacific region. Can satellite imagery provide evidence? A few days ago, Ukraine and South Korea said that North Korea sent thousands of soldiers to Russia to support Russia in the fight against the Ukrainians. A US source familiar with the intelligence told CNN that “thousands” of North Korean troops are already in Russia . The CNN report also said the US wants to release intelligence showing that thousands of North Korean troops are heading by ship to training sites in Russia.
The information will also likely include satellite imagery showing movements in eastern Russia.

According to the report, the United States does not yet believe North Korean troops have reached Ukraine, but the movements raise deep concerns about the possibility of a serious escalation of the conflict.
Austin said the US is still trying to determine what role the North Koreans will play in the conflict and whether they plan to travel to Ukraine.
According to South Korean intelligence, North Korea has already sent a total of 3,000 troops to Russia. Thus, the troops are at military facilities in Russia, where they are presumably being prepared for an operation against Ukraine. South Korean intelligence director Cho Tae-yong told lawmakers on Wednesday that another 1,500 North Korean troops had entered Russia, Rep. Park Seong-won said.
Cho told lawmakers that his office expects North Korea to send a total of
10,000 troops by December, Park told South Korean media.
