Pentagon: DPRK troops will become "additional bodies on the battlefield".

Deputy Press Secretary of the Pentagon Sabrina Singh stated that Ukraine will not be subject to new restrictions on the use of American weapons if North Korean forces attack Ukrainian forces. She reported that the North Korean army is possibly moving towards Kursk, but the US does not have detailed data on their number and armament. She noted that about 10 thousand troops are engaged in exercises in eastern Russia, which plans to strengthen its forces. The Pentagon is concerned about Russia's intention to use these soldiers in battles or to support combat operations against Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region. This may cause an escalation of the conflict and incite additional desperation in President Putin. Washington, Kyiv, and allies are closely monitoring the situation, and the US will continue to provide support and increase security assistance to Ukraine.
