North Korea to Send Thousands More Troops to Assist Russia in Ukraine
North Korea is planning to send more troops to help Russia fight in Ukraine.
They are sending between 25,000 and 30,000 soldiers, adding to the 11,000 they sent before.
These new troops could arrive in the next few months.
Some of the soldiers sent earlier were hurt or died.
This is happening because North Korea and Russia are working together.
North Korea plans to send an additional 25,000 to 30,000 troops to assist Russia in its war against Ukraine.
The troops may arrive in Russia in the coming months.
This follows a previous deployment of 11,000 North Korean troops to Russia in November.
Around 4,000 of the previously deployed North Korean soldiers were killed or injured.
The assessment comes from Ukrainian officials.
