background
Representatives of South Korea, the U.S., and Russian and North Korean governments engaged in a fierce war of words at the U.N. Security Council on the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia.

Ambassador to the United Nations Hwang Jun-guk said the North Korean military's deployment to the front line would proceed faster than expected,

He stressed that he knows well what will happen to North Korean soldiers at a time when there are more than 600,000 Russian casualties.

[Hwang Joon-guk / Ambassador of the United Nations: The North Korean military is likely to become a legitimate military target and become a bulletproof supporter, and the money they are supposed to receive from Russia will go into Kim Jong-un's pocket.]

The U.S. also warned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to think twice, saying the dispatch of North Korean troops is reckless, adding to the risk.

[Robert Wood / U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations]: If North Korean troops help Russia into Ukraine, they will return home by carcass. State Councilor Kim Jong-un advises thinking twice.

In response, North Korea said cooperation with Russia is internationally legal and pressured it to take some action if it interferes.

[Kim Sung / North Korean Ambassador to the United Nations: North Korea and Russia have the right to develop bilateral relations in all areas, including politics, economy, military and culture]

After emphasizing the legitimacy of sending North Korean troops, Russia effectively admitted to sending troops indirectly.

[Vasily Nevenza / Russian Ambassador to the United Nations] No need to be surprised by the statement about North Korean troops because they are trying to get out of trouble that threatens world peace.]

The dispatch of North Korean troops is expected to send a big shock wave not only to the Korean Peninsula, but also to the security landscape of Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

As a result, the response of the Korean government as well as the international community such as the United States is becoming increasingly urgent.
