South Korea's foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to Seoul on Monday and urged an "immediate" withdrawal of North Korean soldiers from the war in Ukraine.
"We condemn North Korea's illegal military cooperation, including its dispatch of troops to Russia, in the strongest terms," said South Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Hong Kyun in a press release, calling for an "immediate withdrawal" of the troops.
The minister warned the Russian ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev that Seoul will respond by mobilizing "all available means in cooperation with the international community to any acts that threaten the core interests of South Korea."
Zinoviev responded in a Facebook post that the cooperation with North Korea is "not directed against South Korea's security interests" and that "it is in line with international law."
South Korea's spy agency said Friday it believes North Korea has already begun deploying four brigades totaling 12,000 troops, including special forces, to the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The country's President Yoon Suk Yeol called the involvement "a grave security threat to the world."
Pyongyang and Moscow have stepped up their military cooperation since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty in June. The agreement commits both countries to provide military assistance to each other if either is attacked.

America's deep-state / neocons / marxist-globalists have a complete misunderstanding of Russia's (and China's) relative strength, and blindness to the USA's own strategic weaknesses.
And they (and you) distill it all into simplistic, idiotic propaganda themes and slogans, and think that will make it all successful.
They got their orders from NATO/one world govt on what to say.
Military complex/NATO/one worlders need a bigger war with more countries involveed.
Why? These troops won’t last 30 days. If I were Seoul, I’d be silent.
You still have not addressed why the neocons would drum up a war that they, along with everybody else, thought the Russians would win in a couple of weeks.
That’s a ridiculous comment from you. Trying a bit of ass-covering now, are you?
Who in DC assumed Russia would “win?”
All the MSM US state-run propaganda we heard for a year was that Russia was losing, was running low on weapons, was running low on troops, and that Putin was on the verge being deposed.
Deep-state neocons assumed Russia either would not act on NATO’s continued expansion, and would ignore the political provocations in Ukraine, or, once the war started, would “lose” within a matter of weeks
It's yet another lie from Deep State.
Look at the reporting immediately before and after the invasion. Everyone was assumed that Ukraine could not stand up to Russia and would loose in a number of weeks. This was also why the west was reluctant at first to send serious military aid. Remember that we offered Zelensky a free flight out of the country. As for provocations, are you forgetting about Russia's eight year occupation of Ukrainian territory? Oh, I forgot, Russia can do anything it wants and no one is supposed to respond.
Lil’ Rocket Man stronk like Mao!
You obviously don’t read macusmaximus’ many postings
Yep, they're sending the K-Pop kids to Ukraine to serenade the Uke Nazis on the front lines.
It's a Game Changer!
What a tangled web we have woven.... Anyone see the crew on the plane crash around Mt Rainier. Coincidentally, all female. Not to point fingers but, females are given spots because of DNA, not skill.
Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”

The K-Pop Kids can serenade Carlson too, if you get him to the Uke Nazi Ukraine front.
” I’d be thrilled the Norks are disposing of their best men and equipment in Ukraine.”
I’m not so sure about that myself. Maybe they’re sending the incompetents, misfits, and deadwood to get rid of them.
I’m sure the S Koreans have exactly the same thoughts regarding the value of direct experience, which is why they will probably match Nork participation to an equal degree.
