Ukraine president says Russia to deploy 10,000 North Korean troops.
BRUSSELS: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday (Oct 18) he had intelligence reports that North Korea was training 10,000 soldiers to support Russia in its fight against Kyiv." They are preparing on their land, 10,000 soldiers, but they didn't move them already to Ukraine or to Russia," Zelenskyy said after meeting NATO defence ministers.
He made the claim about the 10,000 North Korean soldiers earlier Thursday after meeting EU leaders in Brussels - without initially making clear where they were being trained. Speaking alongside NATO chief Mark Rutte, Zelenskyy said there were already an unspecified number of "tactical personnel" and "officers" from North Korea in "occupied" Ukrainian territory held by Russia.
Rutte told their press conference that the alliance had "no evidence that North Korean soldiers are involved in the fight, but we do know that North Korea is supporting Russia". "We are tracking the possible deployment of North Korean troops to Russia," one official told reporters.
"North Korea has for quite some time now provided significant artillery munitions to Russia to support the war. And this is a new body of reporting that we're tracking."
The official said the reports concerned between 2,000 and 12,000 North Koreans but that - if verified - "it's probably towards the lower number".

As folder...?. Make for Putin's, another Karma to for Putin's soldiers...

Despite its size and potential, NATO stands ill-prepared for a protracted conflict with Russia, plagued by empty ammunition stores and political division. The launch of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 confronted the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with a new geopolitical reality. Described as "braindead" by French President Emmanuel Macron only a few years prior, alliance woke up to a threat previously thought to the past full-out conventional land war on European continent. Military officials have since churned out warnings of a resurgent Russian threat to NATO, saying allies must be ready in three, five, or eight years' time.
“The Russian Federation has become a problem for the world order, for democracy. In fact, it is a war of Russia with the democratic world. It is not (just) a war with Ukraine,” Romanian Defense Chief Gheorghita Vlad said in February of this year. This is how North Korean troops could be used in Russia’s war in Ukraine. After decades of fighting insurgents rather than armies, under funded Euro forces still sobering up from post-Cold War "peace dividend years," shadow of Donald Trump's return to White House, NATO's readiness for such a clash lies in doubt.
"NATO could not defeat Russia given its current capabilities without incurring significant cost in terms of casualties, damage, and temporary loss of territorial sovereignty,” Gordon B. Davis, a senior fellow at the CEPA think tank and NATO’s former deputy assistant secretary general, told the Kyiv Independent. Collectively, the 32 members of NATO can field a powerful, and modern fighting force, but — its European contingent at least — faces ammunition shortages, a fragmented defense industry, and insufficient air defense coverage. Then there is the question of unity and the will of Western societies to make sacrifices in a costly and prolonged war.

Three US battleground States Have Big Stake in US Arms Support to Ukraine. Its hard to point to a direct link between Ukraine-linked defense spending and a state’s support to a candidate.
Maybe Pennsylvania. Wisconsin and Arizona, not so much, of 3 of the 7-battleground states in US Presidential race. Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – will cast ballots in local economies booming from US arms support to Ukraine & with thousands of jobs potentially on line depending on the election outcome.
According to US Dept of Defense information, in 2023, the Pentagon spent $27.3 billion of taxpayer money purchasing or refurbishing military equipment for Ukraine, in 35 states.
