North Korea Poised to Send 100,000 Troops to Support Russia in Ukraine Conflict

North Korea's deployment of up to 100,000 troops to Russia provides a temporary solution for President Vladimir Putin to avoid a politically unpopular second mobilization of Russian reservists, according to the Institute for the Study of War. This move helps sustain Russia's military efforts for about three months amid high casualties. However, the long-term effectiveness is questionable due to Russia's broader demographic and industrial challenges. North Korea benefits from this arrangement through financial compensation and potential aid in rice and space technology, despite international sanctions.

"Debate Over Sending Troops to Ukraine Intensifies Among NATO Members"

Slovak Defense Minister Kaliňák suggested that instead of sending NATO troops, Ukraine should motivate and provide resources for the 300,000 Ukrainian men of draft age who have left the country to return and fight in the Ukrainian army, as they are sufficiently patriotic. Kyiv's new mobilization bill aims to lower the mobilization age to 25 to rotate exhausted front-line soldiers, but it has faced challenges in gaining public support and funding.

"Ukraine's Dual Strategy: Mobilization and Demobilization in Focus"

MP Davyd Arakhamia stated that due to limited funding, a new wave of mobilization in Ukraine will only be possible if accompanied by demobilization, as additional funds are needed for equipping and training new military personnel. Ukraine is seeking domestic financing for this purpose, and has also received training support from allies such as Romania, France, Italy, and Spain. The United States is expected to vote on providing aid to Ukraine in the next two months, and the Verkhovna Rada is considering amendments to a bill related to military service and mobilization.
