The Republic of Korea (ROK) on Friday declared the dispatch of troops by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to Russia as a “grave security threat” to the international community. The ROK Presidential Office issued a statement expressing deep concern over the DPRK’s actions and vowed to respond with all available means.
The statement comes amid escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula and growing international apprehension over the DPRK’s military cooperation with Russia. “The deployment of DPRK troops to Russia undermines regional stability and poses a significant threat to global security,” the ROK Presidential Office said.
The ROK government emphasized the importance of a united international response. “We urge the international community to take decisive action to prevent further escalation,” the statement added.
The move by the DPRK marks an unprecedented level of military collaboration with Russia, raising alarms among neighboring countries and allies. Analysts suggest that this development could shift the balance of power in the region and complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at denuclearization and peace.
In response, the ROK has reaffirmed its commitment to national security and regional stability. The government is reportedly engaging with international partners to coordinate a comprehensive response. “We will leverage all diplomatic and security measures at our disposal to address this provocation,” the Presidential Office asserted.
The international community watches closely as the situation unfolds, with many calling for restraint and dialogue to de-escalate tensions. The ROK’s firm stance highlights the serious implications of the DPRK’s actions and the urgent need for collaborative efforts to maintain peace and security in the region.
