A new contingent of North Korean military personnel has reportedly arrived in Russia, landing at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow two days ago. The arrival, shared in a video on social media, suggests continued military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow. This follows a pattern of North Korean support for Russia's war effort in Ukraine, including previous shipments of artillery shells and missiles. The deployment of troops, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in their direct military collaboration. The Kremlin has not yet commented on the reported troop arrival.
