After the South Korean government officially confirmed the dispatch of North Korean troops, a series of videos have been released that are believed to have filmed North Korean troops sent to Russia.

Analysts say that the North Korean military will first be deployed to the Russian mainland and the Kursk front.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

This video was released on social media by an organization affiliated with the Ukrainian military.

Dozens of young-looking soldiers are lining up to receive supplies and put them in duffel bags.

In the middle, voices speaking Korean with a North Korean accent are mixed.

The Ukrainian military claimed it was filmed at Sergeevsky Training Center in Russia's coastal state.

It added that the footage was taken within 72 hours, without revealing how it was obtained.

The authenticity of the video has not been verified.

Pro-Russian social media accounts also posted videos of troops training believed to be North Korean troops.

The Korean language was used in the process of more than 200 soldiers leaving the camp wearing Russian military uniforms and equipment.

Ukraine's intelligence authorities predicted that 2,600 North Korean troops will be deployed to Kursk, Russia, on the 1st of next month.

Kursk is the site of fierce fighting after Ukrainian forces crossed the border in August.

As it is Russian territory, not Ukraine, it may be less burdensome for North Korea.

As the dispatch of North Korean troops has become a fait accompli, the concerns of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and NATO are deepening.

With additional sanctions on Russia and North Korea likely, there is a possibility that military aid, which has been slowed by member states' circumstances, will be accelerated again.

In the process, there is speculation that pressure may increase against South Korea, which has adhered to the principle of not supporting weapons of killing.
