This is John Batchel, colleague Greg Scarlatou of North Korean Human Rights Watch,

summarizes the significance of North Korea and Russia admitting to their collaboration all summer in the war in Ukraine.

What does it mean for the whole peninsula of the Koreans facing another election and more turmoil in the

south. Is Greg Scarletu? Much more of this tonight. Yes. For about a year and a half, North Korea

has been supplying Russia with millions of artillery rounds. K-23 and K-24 ballistic missiles recently used in an a strike against Kiev in Ukraine, and also with special forces from the 11th Corps of the North Korean and Korean People's Army.

North Korea and Russia denied these North Korean contributions to Russia's aggression

against Ukraine for the longest time.

Very recently, both Russia and North Korea have admitted that, yes, the North Koreans have

contributed to, well, the so-called liberation of the

Kersk region and to the Russian invasion, the Russian war effort on the Ukrainian front.

We see the North Koreans being as bold as they've ever been.

They realize that the world is going through some major changes.

And unfortunately, South Korea is facing all of these domestic political issues, this domestic

political infighting that, quite frankly, places the national security of the Republic of Korea in a very difficult position.

There is great danger, great peril for South Korea.
