NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte informed on Monday that, according to Alliance information, troops from North Korea have been sent to Russia and deployed in the Kursk region bordering Ukraine.

According to Gen. Roman Polko, former commander of the GROM unit, "This is a show army with outdated equipment, untrained and completely unprepared to operate in foreign conditions." - These are poor people who rob civilians because they have nothing to eat - he stated.

- It is clear that Putin will stop at nothing - he said in an interview.

In his opinion, the United States should remove restrictions on Ukraine. - They should apply the same solution as when transferring weapons to Israel - he noted. He explained that "Israel has no restrictions, and Ukraine cannot defend itself by attacking targets on Russian territory."

On Monday, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that there would be no restrictions for Ukraine regarding the use of US weapons if North Korea joins the fight.

- Soldiers from North Korea will become a party to the war, and we will not introduce any additional restrictions on Ukraine's use of American weapons against them - she stated.

- If we see DPRK forces entering the front line, they will become a party to the war (...). So, this is a calculation that North Korea must make. They are sending their soldiers to a war where we see Russian casualties and losses reaching over 500,000 soldiers at this point - Singh said during Monday's press briefing.

She was responding to a question about whether the US would decide to introduce additional restrictions on the use of American weapons on Russian territory.
