Russian Experts "Sending Forces to North Korea Will Not Help Much"

While the Russian government has not made an official statement on whether to send North Korea, Russian experts have argued that the North Korean military will not have a significant impact on the situation.

According to local media, Alexei Zhuravlyov, the first deputy chairman of the Russian House of Representatives' Defense Committee, said the North Korean military does not have enough combat experience and must undergo boot camp, making it difficult to make a decisive impact on the situation.

Another military critic said that 12,000 people are not very helpful to Russian forces, and that if North Korea's dispatch is true, other countries can send troops to Ukraine and the international impact Russia will have is negative.

However, another critic positively evaluated that Russia would not need to issue a new mobilization order if the North Korean military came in.
