North Korea’s entry into Russia’s war in Ukraine also poses a threat to the United States, warns NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken promises an American response.

Rutte and Blinken will meet in Brussels on Wednesday, when Blinken will also meet the ambassadors of the NATO countries.

Much is usually about Ukraine – and not least the fact that North Korean soldiers are now stationed on the Russian side of the war. Rutte warns that Russia’s opportunities in the war are now increasing, but that it will also have other side effects, when the Russian president needs to “pay” for the help in the form of spreading technical knowledge to North Korea.

– It poses a threat not only to Europe but also to the United States, Rutte emphasizes.

– It requires and will receive a decisive response, promises Blinken in turn.
