North Korea will send more troops to Russia to assist in its war against Ukraine, possibly as early as July, a South Korean lawmaker said on Thursday, citing information from Seoul’s spy agency.

The confirmation comes just a week after Sergei Shoigu, head of Russia’s Security Council, said North Korea would send military builders and sappers to help restore Russia’s Kursk region during his visit to Pyongyang.
"North Korea is continuing to send troops and supply weapons to Russia, and we see its support has played a significant role in Moscow’s efforts to retake Kursk," lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun told reporters after a briefing from the spy agency.
