The positions of South Korea, the United States, North Korea and Russia collided head-on at a meeting convened by the U.N. Security Council regarding the dispatch of North Korean troops.

South Korea and the U.S. condemned the North Korean military, saying it would return to the country after it died, and North Korea and Russia responded that it was a legitimate right to develop North Korea-Russia relations.

This is correspondent Lee Seung-yoon's report from New York.

Representatives of South Korea, the U.S., and Russian and North Korean governments engaged in a fierce war of words at the U.N. Security Council on the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia.

Ambassador to the United Nations Hwang Jun-guk said the North Korean military's deployment to the front line would proceed faster than expected,

He stressed that he knows well what will happen to North Korean soldiers at a time when there are more than 600,000 Russian casualties.

[Hwang Joon-guk / Ambassador of the United Nations: The North Korean military is likely to become a legitimate military target and become a bulletproof supporter, and the money they are supposed to receive from Russia will go into Kim Jong-un's pocket.]

The U.S. also warned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to think twice, saying the dispatch of North Korean troops is reckless, adding to the risk.

[Robert Wood / U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations]: If North Korean troops help Russia into Ukraine, they will return home by carcass. State Councilor Kim Jong-un advises thinking twice.

In response, North Korea said cooperation with Russia is internationally legal and pressured it to take some action if it interferes.

After emphasizing the legitimacy of sending North Korean troops, Russia effectively admitted to sending troops indirectly.

[Vasily Nevenza / Russian Ambassador to the United Nations] No need to be surprised by the statement about North Korean troops because they are trying to get out of trouble that threatens world peace.]

The dispatch of North Korean troops is expected to send a big shock wave not only to the Korean Peninsula, but also to the security landscape of Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

As a result, the response of the Korean government as well as the international community such as the United States is becoming increasingly urgent.
