◇ Anchor> If North Korea really participates in the battle, in the United States, they are concerned that North Korea will also become a joint war of war. In other words, Russia is in a very difficult situation right now that it is supported by the North Korean military from Russia's point of view, which is an urgent situation. Can it be interpreted like this?

◆ Cho Han-beom> Of course. Because Ukraine seems to be losing ground, but Ukraine can always turn the tide. Because even if the range of weapons supported by the West and NATO is extended right now, there is a condition that there are long-range missiles now, but only in Ukrainian territory.

You can only use it to invade Ukraine and then Russia, for example, Kursk, and then you can't use it to attack and capture Ukraine. And in the case of Stormshedo and Atex, the range is 300 to 500km. But now, weapons attacking Ukraine are flying from the back of Russia.Even if weapons are allowed only up to Russian territory, Russian rear bases will be devastated.

Ukraine can turn the tide depending on Western support. But Russia is isolated now. Except for North Korea, China does not give weapons and Iran does not have the capacity to mass-produce. On the surface, Russia controls the battlefield, but it can always turn the situation around and shows serious limitations, especially in military resources.

I did the 1st draft and said there was no more, but if you do the 2nd draft, there will be internal cracks, and there will be backlash. He keeps hiring at the mercenary level. It's the first time I've been dispatched on a national basis. And there are 12,000 in the media, but the combat troops don't end here. If it continues to be consumed, North Korea will constantly receive troops, so Russia has met a welcome rain of drought.

Because it's so desperate, it's actually a lifeline for Russia, but the side effects of it are beyond imagination. You can lift the arms range limit that NATO and the United States mentioned. However, NATO also has to think about supporting troops, and we also have to pay attention to the support of weapons of death right away.

However, one of the things Russia fears most is that Korea provides weapons of destruction to Ukraine. The quality of our support for lethal weapons and North Korea's support for ammunition to Russia are different. However, taking that risk and accepting the dispatch means that Russia is so desperate, and the battlefield is dominant, but it is unclear how long it will be dragged.
