"A significant escalation."
Nato's Secretary-General Mark Rutte warns about the development if North Korea actually sends soldiers to support Russia's war of invasion in Ukraine.
The post was made after Rutte spoke with South Korea's President Yoon Suk-Yeol and emphasized the defense alliance's "close partnership with Seoul".
It was on Friday that reports spread about the dictatorship North Korea having made a decision to send extensive military aid to Russia's war of invasion. This involves 12,000 soldiers, including special forces, according to South Korea's intelligence service Nis, which claimed that troop movements had already begun.
The agency published satellite images that were said to show how a first group of 1,500 soldiers was sent towards Vladivostok.
