What does North Korea get out of sending its soldiers to fight Russia's war?

Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday condemned allies for what he described as giving "zero" response to North Korea's sending of troops to Russia.

In an interview with South Korea's KBS television channel, Zelenskyy said that Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin "is checking the reaction of the West" to the move. He added: "And I believe that after all these reactions, Putin will decide and increase the contingent ... The reaction that is there today is nothing, it is zero."

There is no evidence of North Korean troops fighting inside Ukraine at this stage, but earlier in the week, Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, said that Washington was "concerned that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat or to support combat operations against Ukrainian forces in Kursk" — a Russian region invaded by Ukraine in August.

"We continue to monitor closely and are consulting with our Ukrainian partners, as well as other allies and partners," Ryder added.

In separate remarks, Zelenskyy also lashed out at US officials who leaked information about a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk missiles — weapons with a range of 2.4K miles (1.5K km) — to the New York Times. "How should we understand these messages?" Zelenskyy said. "So, it means between partners there’s nothing confidential?"

Zelenskyy also criticized Poland this week for failing to transfer MiG fighter jets that had been promised. Polish Pres. Andrzej Duda said his country was unable to provide more weapons without compromising its own security needs, but this was not looked on favorably by the Ukrainian leader.
