North Korea Expands Support for Russia With Drone Operators, Ukraine Says

Ukraine’s intelligence says about 8,500 North Korean troops are in Russia, including around 400 drone operators whose equipment could be used to survey and strike targets in Ukraine, as Moscow and Pyongyang deepen military ties. Kyiv warns Putin may seek thousands more NK troops, though Pyongyang has denied mass deployments. North Korea has also supplied missile technology and air-defense equipment, with some NK personnel deployed in Russia’s rear to free Russian forces for operations in Ukraine.

Several other European allies (Greece, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden) could take part in French nuclear wargames, while Paris retains sole authority over nuclear strikes and funding details were not disclosed.
