In the war that has been going on for months between Ukraine and Russia, the claims of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy and intelligence officials that “North Korean soldiers are fighting on the side of Russia in Kursk” had a wide impact in the world public opinion. Recently, the developing relations between Russia and North Korea have been strengthened with economic, political and military agreements. While Western countries, especially the USA, were trying to form a front against Russia on the side of Ukraine, Russian leader Putin received a very harsh intimidation.
“RUSSIA NEEDS TO KEEP ITS NUCLEAR FORCES READY”
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia should have its nuclear forces ready and announced that they carried out a nuclear exercise.
Putin said, “Given the increasing geopolitical tensions and emerging new external threats and risks, it is important to have strategic forces that are modern and ready for continuous use. “I emphasize that we will not enter a new arms race, but we will keep our nuclear forces at the required level of proficiency,” he said.
PURPOSE OF THE EXERCISE: “LAUNCHING A MAJOR NUCLEAR ATTACK AGAINST THE ENEMY’S ATTACK”
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov stated in his statement that the aim of the exercise was to launch “a major nuclear attack in response to the enemy’s nuclear attack.”
The Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, Sineva and Bulava ballistic missiles fired from submarines, and cruise missiles fired from strategic bombers were used in the exercise.
CLAIMS THAT IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE KURSK FRONT
The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) also claimed that North Korean military units were brought to the Kursk region of Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, “According to intelligence, Russia will deploy the first North Korean soldiers to combat zones on October 27-28. Contrary to the disinformation circulating in Kazan these days, this is Russia’s clear step to escalate tension.” He made the statement.
