◇Anchor> I'm still cautious because I have to see the results of the U.S. presidential election, but anyway, former President Trump keeps describing Putin as a friend. Assuming the possibility of former President Trump becoming the next U.S. president and assuming a scenario, will Putin or Chairman Kim Jong-un be more free from the issue of sending troops? How do I look at it?
◆Lee Ho-ryeong> For Putin or Kim Jong-un, it is a little more America-first, so President Trump wants to focus more on American issues and end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible. Then, in order to create a quick end to the war, North Korea wants to end the war in the early stages, but there is a high possibility of operating more military or troops.
◇Anchor> You thought there was a possibility that more spaces could be opened. If you look at President Zelensky's story now, I originally heard that he sent North Korean special forces, but he also talked about engineering units.
◆Lee Ho-ryeong> I think I mentioned all the different types. If you look at the media interviews. First of all, many North Korean workers will be dispatched to unmanned aerial vehicle factories in connection with unmanned aerial vehicles. And in the case of empty bottles, you need empty bottles for various situations. After that, the special forces were dispatched, so there is a high possibility that various types of soldiers entered the Russian region to train and were mobilized to make munitions products at factories.
◇Anchor> For North Korea, the list released now shows that up to three generals went with the military. The fact that even three generals who play key roles have been sent is that North Korea is actually making all-out efforts on the issue of sending troops. Can I see it like this?
◆Lee Ho-ryeong> Coincidentally, he's the deputy chief of staff. The head of the Special Operations Force went. Then there was Lee Chang-ho, the Reconnaissance General Bureau, which is the Reconnaissance General Bureau, and in the case of the Reconnaissance General Bureau, it is the best unit that works against South Korea. In the end, these teams were included in Russia's visit to Russia, including the situation of the war in Russia and the drones used in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the parts that can comprehensively judge, evaluate, and develop special forces operations.
