North Korea is likely to deploy members of its regular armed forces to Ukraine in support of russia, South Korea's Defense Minister said today.
The assessment came as North Korea has been seeking to bolster ties with russia, highlighted by a bilateral agreement that includes a mutual defense clause, signed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and russian president vladimir putin at summit talks in June 2024.N.

While ruzzians either execute Ukrainian POWs, torture them relentlessly in captivity, or starve them close to death, this russian POW complains about conditions in Ukrainian prison.
"Cruel" Ukrainians are not giving him his favorite salads. Horrific.

The Kremlin has called for the mass replacement of Russians with robots
The problem of labor shortage in Russia can be solved by introducing robots into enterprises, said Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin. "Robotization is a direct path to overcoming the labor shortage, which affects all industries," he said during his speech at the Innopolis forum.
From the Kremlin official's point of view, in addition to industrial production, robots can be introduced to support such processes as logistics, storage and sorting. Oreshkin added that with the active growth of wages, automation will become increasingly profitable. He also noted that Russia has a "large support package", including tax breaks, for robot manufacturers and those who introduce them.
In June, President Vladimir Putin demanded that Russia “shortly” enter the world’s top 25 countries in robot use, meaning the installation of more than 100,000 such machines. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak called robotization and the development of artificial intelligence among the main factors in the long-term growth of the Russian economy.
Currently, there are about 19 robots per 10,000 workers in the domestic industry. The leaders in this indicator are South Korea (1,012 robots), Singapore (730 robots) and Germany (415 robots).
After the war with Ukraine began, which resulted in mobilization and mass emigration, Russia experienced an acute shortage of personnel. According to the Central Bank, 70% of enterprises are experiencing a labor shortage. According to government estimates, the economy will need 2.4 million new workers by 2030.
North Korea has strongly rejected NATO's accusations of supplying missiles and ammunition to Russia, calling them "slander" and issuing a warning of "tragic consequences" if NATO persists with its "hostile policy." In a statement from the North Korean Foreign Ministry, Pyongyang expressed outrage over NATO's condemnation of its military cooperation with Russia, as well as similar criticism of Iran's support for Moscow.
The timing of these accusations, coinciding with the NATO Secretary General's visit to Ukraine, was interpreted by North Korea as a signal that the Alliance aims to confront the DPRK directly. The statement reiterated North Korea’s stance, echoing Russian propaganda, that NATO, not Moscow, is responsible for instigating the war in Ukraine. Additionally, North Korea criticized NATO's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, claiming that the Alliance is seeking to justify its existence post-Cold War.
Pyongyang warned that if NATO continues its "hostile" actions, it would hold the Alliance fully accountable for any resulting "tragic consequences." This marks a firm stance from North Korea, highlighting the growing geopolitical tensions surrounding military support for Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
It appears one person in North Korea gets enough to eat.
