The State Department assessed the prospects of Russia using North Korean soldiers in the war against Ukraine.

According to the U.S. State Department, the success of Russia in using North Korean troops on the battlefield will depend on their integration into the Russian army.

This was reported by representative Vedant Patel.

He also confirmed that more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been transported to eastern Russia. Most of them have settled in the Kursk region, where they began to operate alongside Russian forces.

'The success of Russia in using North Korean troops will critically depend on how well the Russians can integrate them into their armed forces. Among the challenges they will need to address are operational compatibility, language barriers, command and control, and communication.'
