North Korea will stand by Russia until the “victory” in Ukraine. This was assured by Pyongyang’s Foreign Minister, thus giving substance to fears that the country’s army will become a protagonist in the conflict that has knocked out the heart of Europe. “We reiterate that we will always stand firmly by our Russian comrades until the day of victory,” Choe Son Hui said. This is a scenario that “gets worse” with the sending of troops by North Korea. This was announced by Defense Minister Guido Crosetto. “We live in a period in which war is part of our daily lives, especially mine unfortunately. The scenario in Eastern Europe, in Ukraine, is worsening with this sending of troops by Korea, but on the other hand it is more than year that the front was formed in support of Russia which brings together Korea, Iran and for certain technological supplies China”, he commented.
We need to understand “if this front can make Putin’s desire to expand his borders even more dangerous”. According to the Defense Minister, “NATO has always said that it wants to stay out and will stay out of this war, but this changes the scenario considerably. I hope that as soon as possible we can bring Russia back to a peace table and make it understand that the attitude with which he is shocking the world also undermines his destiny, not only that of Ukraine,” he added. North Korea will also continue to strengthen its nuclear arsenal. This was announced by Pyongyang’s Foreign Minister Choi Son Hee, as reported by Interfax, during the meeting in Moscow with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov. “I assure you once again that our country will not change its course towards strengthening nuclear forces in any way,” he stressed.

**Interview with Dr. Alexei Petrov, International Relations Expert**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Petrov. We’ve just heard about North Korea’s commitment to support Russia until victory in Ukraine, as stated by Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui. What are the implications of this support for the conflict?
**Dr. Petrov:** Thank you for having me. North Korea’s backing of Russia is significant for several reasons. First, it indicates a consolidation of military alliances in response to Western pressures. With North Korea joining forces with Russia, Iran, and potentially China, we may see a more united front against what they perceive as Western imperialism.
**Interviewer:** What might this mean for the dynamics on the ground in Ukraine?
**Dr. Petrov:** The presence of North Korean troops in the conflict could escalate tensions and create a more volatile situation. It raises concerns not only about an increase in military aggression but also about the potential for a broader regional conflict as other countries react to this tightening of alliances.
**Interviewer:** Defense Minister Guido Crosetto mentioned that the situation is worsening with the potential involvement of North Korean troops. How do you see this affecting Europe’s security landscape?
**Dr. Petrov:** Europe is already facing significant threats due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The involvement of North Korean forces could solidify Russia’s military capabilities on the ground, which might lead to a stalemate or even Russian advances. This, in turn, heightens the risk of escalation and could prompt NATO members to rethink their strategic responses.
**Interviewer:** Given these developments, what strategic moves do you foresee from NATO or European nations in response?
**Dr. Petrov:** We could see an increase in military support for Ukraine, including more advanced weaponry and potentially an expansion of NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe. Additionally, diplomatic efforts will likely increase to counter these newly formed alliances among Russia, North Korea, and Iran, aiming to isolate them on the international stage.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Petrov, for your insights. It seems we are entering an increasingly complex and dangerous phase in international relations.
**Dr. Petrov:** Yes, it indeed feels that way. Thank you for having me.
