The United States threatened to respond to the Russian Federation for the alleged presence of DPRK soldiers in Kursk region

The White House is ready to respond to Russia with coordinated political decisions together with US allies on the alleged participation of the DPRK military in the battles in the Kursk region, such threats were made by the US president's national security adviser Jake Sullivan.

"I believe that there will be a coordinated set of political decisions that we will take: diplomatic, related to material support for Ukraine," he said.

Sullivan added that the US authorities intend to act together with their allies and partners in Europe, as well as Japan and South Korea.

Earlier, the deputy official representative of the US State Department, Vedant Patel, made the statement that 10 thousand military personnel from the DPRK are allegedly already involved in hostilities with Russian forces in the Kursk region.

At the same time in Russia drew attention to the fact that the United States has no confirmation of these statements, and in The DPRK called the accusations against Pyongyang of sending the military to Russia "dirty maneuvers" of the United States and its allies in order to disguise their own crimes and prolong the conflict by Ukraine.

The South Korean Yonhap news agency, citing a source in the republic's army, reported that Seoul was in no hurry to support the US State Department's position on the alleged participation of the DPRK military in the battles near Kursk, and quoted a source who said that Seoul "is not yet at the level to make an unequivocal conclusion about the participation of the North Korean army in the battles."

At the end of October, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, without providing evidence, said that the United States believes that Russia will use North Korean fighters on the battlefield against Ukraine in the coming days, they are allegedly already on Russian territory. Shortly before that, US President Joe Biden allowed the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces to strike at the DPRK troops if they find themselves on the Ukraine.

On November 5, the press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, commenting on such statements from the American side, indicated that the US representatives themselves admit the lack of final confirmation of their own information.
