Germany, Austria, North Korea's Ambassador to North Korea... NATO Is Deepening

Disagreements remain over allowing and countering missile attacks on Russia's mainland

Far-right parties critical of Ukraine's support also bear the burden

Trump's election in U.S. presidential election could lead to a dramatic turnaround

With the official confirmation of the North Korean troop dispatch, Germany and Austria called in the North Korean ambassador to the country to protest.

Attention is focusing on what countermeasures NATO and NATO, which have maintained a cautious attitude, will come up with.

NATO also officially recognized the deployment of North Korean troops, criticizing it as a significant escalation of tensions.

Earlier, the German Foreign Ministry summoned a deputy North Korean ambassador to protest the dispatch.

Since Ambassador Park Nam-young returned to office in November last year, only a small number of North Korean embassies in Germany have been residing there.

Austria also summoned the North Korean ambassador.

NATO emphasized that the dispatch of North Korean troops is an issue that affects the Indo-Pacific region beyond Europe.

[German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius] North Korea's actions affect relations between North Korea and China. In this respect, it also affects China and Russia, India and China, and India and Russia relations.

However, it did not specify what countermeasures it would take.

For now, it seems highly likely that the U.S. will keep pace with the additional sanctions announced by the U.S.

In a situation where Russia is even talking about tactical nuclear cards, further action is inevitably burdensome.

There are still disagreements over allowing long-range missiles to strike mainland Russia or counter-attacks from European countries.

In particular, far-right parties critical of Ukraine's support have become stronger in France and Germany.

The outcome of the U.S. presidential election is also considered an important variable.

If former President Trump is elected, a dramatic turnaround could take place.

In the end, it seems likely that the North Korean military will be as cautious as possible while watching the situation in which it is deployed to the front of Ukraine.
