Will Russia Repel Ukraine's Attack on the Kursk Region?

US Pres. Joe Biden Tuesday asked Kyiv to strike at North Korean troops "if they go into Ukraine." Without elaborating, Biden expressed concern at the presence of an estimated 10K North Korean troops — some in Russia’s Kursk Oblast — to participate in Moscow's war against Ukraine.

The Pentagon Monday said Ukraine faced no curbs on using American weapons against North Korean troops if they attacked the Ukrainians. While it didn't confirm their presence in Ukraine, the Pentagon "fully expect[ed]" North Korean troops to be deployed in an infantry role soon.

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry had last week reported the presence of North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Biden had earlier called their deployment in Russia "very dangerous;" NATO had termed it a sign of Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin's "growing desperation."

Ukraine invaded the border Kursk region in a surprise attack in August and holds territory there. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has meanwhile alleged that there's been no strong response from its allies despite weeks of warning them of the North Korean deployment.

Russia and North Korea have reportedly denied the troop movement, although they have considerably intensified their ties in recent years. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has called their deepening military cooperation "a threat" to Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security.

North Korea's state-controlled Korean Central News Agency reported that Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui had left to visit Russia on Monday night. In June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Putin signed an agreement on mutual military assistance if either country is attacked.
