North Korea's Troop Deployment to Russia Sparks Global Concerns
TL;DR
NATO's secretary-general has condemned North Korea's deployment of soldiers to Russia as a significant escalation in Russia's war against Ukraine, highlighting the contradiction in Russia's religious justification for the conflict. The involvement of North Korean troops, from a regime known for its anti-religious stance, undermines Russia's claim of defending Orthodox Christianity. This development calls for Ukraine's allies to impose sanctions on the Russian Orthodox Church's hierarchy, which has supported the invasion under the guise of a 'holy war.'
