On the evening of October 30, a meeting of the UN Security Council will be held, convened by Ukraine in connection with the participation of the North Korean military in the war on the side of the Russian aggressor.

This was announced by Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya.

"Today, in connection with Ukraine's appeal to the Swiss presidency of the UN Security Council, a meeting of the council will be held on the deployment of the North Korean military - the beginning is approximately after 22.15 Kyiv time," the statement said.

The first information about the participation of the DPRK military in the war on the side of the aggressor appeared in early October, and later this information was confirmed by Ukrainian and South Korean intelligence. On October 14, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that North Korea had entered the war on the side of Russia.

The media reported that military engineers from the DPRK were already assisting Russia in launching ballistic missile strikes against Ukraine. It has also been reported that the DPRK is moving its military to training grounds in the Russian Far East region, where they are undergoing training. According to Ukrainian intelligence, about 3,000 North Korean troops are already at training grounds near the combat zone, and their total number may increase to 12,000.

On October 23, the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate reported that the first DPRK soldiers had arrived at the front, spotted in the Kursk region of Russia. On October 29, CNN noted that a small number of these soldiers are already in Ukraine.

On October 21, the Kremlin neither confirmed nor denied the information about the deployment of North Korean troops to training grounds in Russia.

At the same time, US Representative to the UN Robert Wood said that Russia had fired at least 9 times at Ukraine with missiles received from the DPRK.

Earlier, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin confirmed that Russia had already used missiles from North Korea in the war against Ukraine.
