Pyongyang intensifies its support for Russia in the conflict against Ukraine as military and strategic ties between the two countries strengthen

According to the South Korean General Staff Command, North Korea has sent an additional 3,000 soldiers to Russia, solidifying its support for Moscow in the war against Ukraine. Since the conflict began, Pyongyang has already contributed about 11,000 troops, suffering losses of at least 4,000 dead and wounded. In addition, North Korea has provided short-range ballistic missiles, self-propelled howitzers and multiple rocket launchers.

Upcoming visits and strengthening ties

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko confirmed that a visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to Russia is being prepared, and a possible trip by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Pyongyang to continue the strategic dialogue between the two countries is being considered. This cooperation was further strengthened by the defense pact signed in 2023, which provides for mutual military assistance in case of attack.

U.S. concerns and mutual assistance

The United States is concerned that Russia may transfer advanced technology, especially in the space and satellite fields, to North Korea. Pyongyang has already sent large amounts of munitions to Russia, while Moscow used North Korean missiles in the Ukrainian conflict. In addition to military support, North Korea has treated wounded Russian soldiers, and Russia has provided coal, food, and medicine to Pyongyang. Education collaborations are also intensifying, with student exchange programs and trips for the children of Russian servicemen who have fallen in the war.

The growing importance of drones in the conflict

North Korea continues to develop attack and reconnaissance drones, potentially equipped with Russian technology. Drone strikes have become a key asset in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with Russia increasing their use in military operations.

After agreements reached in talks in Saudi Arabia, Russia and Ukraine have not struck each other’s energy infrastructure since March 25, according to a Ukrainian official. However, despite these pauses, fighting continues, as evidenced by the Russian drone strike on Kharkiv, which wounded nine people.
