MBABANE:John Healey, the United Kingdom(UK) Defence Secretary says, it is now highly likely that North Korean soldiers are supporting Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, SkyNews reported on Tuesday evening.
“Speaking in the House of Commons, John Healey went further than previous ministers-including the prime minister-who only said the move was reported.
“In a concerning new development, it is now highly likely that the transfer of hundreds of combat troops from North Korea to Russia has begun,” he said.
Mr Healey added:
“North Korean soldiers supporting Russia's war of aggression on European soil-it is as shocking as it is desperate."
