US still not have seen signs of engineering troops being sent from North Korea to Russia or the occupied territories of Ukraine.
This was announced by Deputy Spokesperson for the US Department of Defense Sabrina Singh during a briefing on Monday, July 1. However, the US is closely monitoring the situation, notes UNIAN.
"I have nothing for you on this matter. "We certainly know that North Korea is supporting Russia's efforts in Ukraine with a variety of military support, but I don't have information about specific troops that are being sent to Russia at this time," Singh said.
North Korea will send construction and engineering troops to the occupied territories of the Donetsk region. The Koreans are said to be doing "restoration work".
South Korea's Chosun TV channel reported that North Korea is preparing to send large-scale engineering forces to Donbas as early as July.
The journalists refer to a South Korean official representative. DPRK army forces are said to be helping the occupiers rebuild infrastructure in occupied Donetsk.
