Seoul: Amidst the war with Ukraine, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has reached North Korea for military talks. This has created panic from America to NATO. America and NATO are keeping an eye on this visit of the Russian Defense Minister. During his visit, Belousov will hold talks with military and political leaders of North Korea. He reached North Korea on Friday.
Russian news agency 'Tass', in its report quoting the ministry, however, did not say who Belousov would meet or what was the purpose of the talks. North Korean state media did not immediately confirm the visit. Belousov, a former economist, replaced Sergei Shoigu as defense minister after Russian President Vladimir Putin began his fifth term in power in May. Belousov's visit comes days after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol met with a Ukrainian delegation led by Defense Minister Rustam Umarov, in which Yeol asked both countries to provide thousands of dollars to aid North Korea's war against Ukraine. There was a call to prepare for retaliatory measures in response to sending troops to Russia.
North Korea is accused of sending 10 thousand soldiers to Ukraine war
The US and its allies say North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops to Russia in recent weeks and some of those troops have already joined the war. North Korea is also accused of supplying weapons systems, missiles and other military equipment to Russia, which could help Russian President Vladimir Putin further escalate the nearly three-year-long war. Concerns were also raised in South Korea that North Korea could receive technology transfers from Russia in exchange for its troops and weapons supplies, potentially increasing the threat posed by leader Kim Jong Un's nuclear weapons and missile program. .
