North Korea threatens the world
NATO Secretary General warned that North Korea’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict is a "deeply dangerous" move that threatens global stability.
Earlier this week, Kyiv reported that Ukrainian forces had, for the first time, struck North Korean soldiers, with an estimated 12,000 North Korean troops allegedly sent to Russia to support the Kremlin.
"These deepening military and economic ties between a reckless Russia and an emboldened North Korea don’t just threaten Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security, they are deeply dangerous for global security," he wrote in an opinion piece for Politico this week.
The new leader of the military alliance also warned that North Korean assistance would inevitably prolong the conflict between the neighboring nations, which began in February 2022 with Russia’s invasion.
Mark Rutte also urged China to use its influence to persuade Russia to end the war, noting that both countries have suffered significant human and military losses.
"This dangerous expansion of the conflict escalates the war and demonstrates that our security is not regional, it is global," Mark Rutte said.
