NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, observed that North Korean troops sent to Russia are not being used effectively and that mass deaths will be inevitable."The North Korean military is being used in such a way that a large number of people will be killed," NATO Military Commission Chairman Rob Bauer said at a press conference after the NATO Defense Ministers' Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, on the 16th local time.

In particular, referring to the language barrier, he said, "It is practically impossible to coordinate between Russian and North Korean forces," confirming that about a third of the 11,000 North Korean troops already dispatched to Russia's Kursk region were injured or killed.

Chairman Bowone said, "It is a strategic mistake to bring North Korea into the war in this way," adding, "It is no longer just a problem for Ukraine and Russia, and finding a solution has become more complicated."

"North Korea is openly providing weapons to Russia, and Russia is also giving weapons to North Korea in return," he said. "This is a problem not only for South Korea but also for the United States, which has troops on the Korean Peninsula."
