“For the purpose of learning”: almost 3,800 North Korean “students” visited the Russian Federation – mass media

The increase in the flow of “students” from North Korea to Russia is taking place against the background of Western and South Korean intelligence reports about the deployment of military personnel from the DPRK.

Writes UNN with reference to Mediazon.

North Korean soldiers who were stationed in Russia to support the aggressive war against Ukraine could officially indicate that they were studying when entering the Russian Federation. In the third quarter of this year, 3,765 North Koreans went to Russia “for the purpose of training.” This is a record number.

This “coincides with reports of the deployment of North Korean troops in the country,” the report said.

Previously, the number of North Korean students in Russia was much lower – for example, in April of this year, according to the Russian authorities, there were 130 of them.

We will remind

The President of Ukraine announced the escalation of the war due to North Korea’s participation in hostilities. Zelensky emphasized that concessions to the aggressor are unacceptable for Ukraine and suicide for Europe.
