Following the official confirmation of the dispatch of North Korean troops by the South Korean government, the Ukrainian military released a video that is believed to have filmed North Korean troops in Russia's coastal states.

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which still maintains a cautious attitude, seems to be struggling with future responses.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

A YouTube reporter, a video of a supposed North Korean military receiving supplies in Russia has been released?

[Reporter]
Yes, the strategic communication center under the Ukrainian military posted a related video on social media.

However, the authenticity of the video has not been objectively verified.

The video shows dozens of young-looking soldiers lining up to receive Russian supplies and put them in duffel bags.

There is also a mixture of voices speaking Korean with a North Korean accent.

The Ukrainian military claimed the footage was taken at Sergeevsky Training Center in Russia's coastal state.

It also explained that the video was filmed within 72 hours, without revealing how it was obtained.

Sergeevsky's training ground is said to be about 230 kilometers from the North Korean border.

Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence authorities predicted that 2,600 North Korean troops would be deployed to Kursk, Russia, occupied by Ukraine, on the 1st of next month.

I'm also interested in how NATO will respond to the North Korean military's dispatch to Ukraine, what do you think?

[Reporter]
NATO's official position is that it has not yet been confirmed whether North Korean troops are dispatched.

However, when the Ukrainian government first raised the rumor of sending troops, it distanced itself, saying, "There is no evidence," but now the atmosphere is even more serious.

Therefore, as you said, we are also interested in how NATO will respond after the dispatch of North Korean troops is confirmed.

First of all, there is a strong possibility that additional sanctions will be imposed on Russia and North Korea.

Overnight, the European Union reaffirmed this intention.

At the same time, there is a possibility that Ukraine's military support, which has been slowed by member states' circumstances, will be accelerated again.

In the process, there is speculation that pressure may increase against South Korea, which has adhered to the principle of not supporting weapons of killing.

In addition, although relatively unlikely, the 'debate of sending troops to Ukraine' may be raised again, especially in some member states.

NATO has been drawing a line since the beginning of the war to avoid direct conflict with Russia,

But in February, French President Macron insisted on leaving the possibility of sending troops open, and controversy arose as Poland and the three Baltic countries agreed.

Obviously, with the dispatch of North Korean troops, the war in Ukraine, which has been dragging for nearly three years, is entering a more complex phase.

So far, YTN YouTube in the international department.
